Calculate and communicate with PTC Mathcad Prime 3.0

This book accompanies the do-it-yourself course Calculate & Communicate with PTC Mathcad Prime 3.0. In this course you will learn to use large parts of applied mathematics on a computer. You will also learn to write up your calculations in such a way that others will be able to follow and use what you are doing.The course consists of 25 interactive lessons, each accompanied by at least one computer exercise. You must download these from the PTC website. The lesson files are read-only, so you can practice without really changing them. (You can save your own files under a different name.) Each lesson, with exercises, should take between a half and a whole hour. The lesson will give you an idea of what can be done -you will need more time to practice using it on real problems. Files with answers to the exercises are available, but we advise you not to look at these before you have tried the exercises yourself. Hans Wesselingh (1937) has worked for Shell on development of large scale equipment and as professor in chemical engineering at the Technical University of Delft, the University of Groningen and the Technical University of Denmark. He has worked on multicomponent mass transfer in in chemical reactors and separation processes and on industrial product development.Hans de Waard (1982) has worked as researcher at the Department of Pharmaceutical Technology and Biopharmacy (University of Groningen). He has master degrees in pharmaceutical sciences and chemical engineering. Hans finished his PhD research on the development of a novel bottom-up process to prepare drug nano-crystals in 2010. He is now working as a process engineer at Novartis Pharma AG in Switzerland.
