Flipping to the back cover, a picture of a striking woman intrigued me especially after I read her legs and portions of her hands had been amputated. I'm sure there are some functions in the old Mathcad that are not included in Mathcad Prime (as evidenced by the lamentations of Mathcad users on the web), but I just need some basic functions and Prime, for now, suffices.
The most useful chapters for me are the last chapter where Mr Maxf
