Mathcad PLUS 6.0 Professional Edition for IBM OS/2 Warp (& higher, i.e., eCS, ArcaOS) with WinOS, Windows 3.x/95/NT

NOTE: Added a snapshot of OS/2 Warp Connect with WinOS2 under VirtualBox 7.0.16 where I installed Mathcad PLUS 6.0 Pro for a proof of concept (PoC) viability. It ROCKS!

I used this software with IBM OS/2 Warp 3 in a dual boot system which hard drive C: had a factory installation of Windows 3.11; accordingly, when I installed OS/2 Warp 3 it took control over and/or migrated the Windows software in that FAT partition.

Nevertheless, I am including a mint 3.5" diskette set of Windows 3.11 in case your OS/2 indigitalization has no WinOS and/or you want to install Win 3.11 in an OS/2 DOS VM. Even if you are not an OS/2 user you can install the Win 3.11 diskette set in your machine which already has DOS 3.x and higher.

The included black and white cover manuals for Win 3.11 are in fair condition -- as seen in the pictures -- with at least one, the white cover one, with hiliting facing the front cover. I never used them, but people come and go and they just left them here.

Mathcad PLUS 6.0 Professional Edition comes in eight(8) 3.5" original diskettes; nevertheless, original diskette number three(3) exhibited some reading issues when tested prior to listing software here, yet its backup that I made many moons ago has no issues, whatsoever. I will include the backup diskette set that I had stored since then.

Please Note: The Mathcad PLUS 6.0 content box has seen better days. As for the manual, it has obviously been used as it has smudges all around, a sprinkle of coffee/chocolate on its top, a partial rip of its cover, and there is extensive scribbling and hiliting under its front and back covers (please see the pictures) as well as sporadic hiliting in other inside content pages.

Notwithstanding, the manual has been made essentially obsolete by Mathcad PLUS 6.0 Treasury Electronic Book contained in five(5) mint condition diskettes:

Treasury: Your Inside Guide to Mathcad.

Requires Mathcad PLUS 6.0 or higher.
8 MB hard disk space after installation.

The Mathcad PLUS 6.0 Treasury is just that -- a treasury of helpful tips and useful information about Mathcad PLUS 6.0. As a comprehensive guide to Mathcad's mathematical features, it not only explains how each feature does what it does, but also provides exact descriptions of many of the underlying algorithms. And there are plenty of sample applications to show you how Mathcad works in day-to-day problem solving.

You also get all the background information your need to understand Mathcad's incredible array of features and capabilities. For example, instead of simply describing the new probability distribution functions one at a time, The Mathcad PLUS 6.0 Treasury gives you a complete chapter on probability that includes motivations for the subject, a discussion of the concepts, standard definitions and examples.

Most important, because it was created with Mathcad, The Mathcad PLUS 6.0 Treasury is fully interactive. Every number and formula is live. Which means you can browse through a series of topics, or search for and select a particular subject of interest, review it, then change parameters and plots and watch Mathcad calculate the results right there in the book. To save time, you can even double-click on formulas to make them appear in your own Mathcad worksheets.

Selected Topics from the Table of Contents.

Two-and Three-Dimensional Plotting
Probability
Statistics
Animation
Symbolic Computation
Numerical Algorithms
Building Programs in Mathcad

The Mathcad PLUS 6.0 Treasury is just one in a series of Mathcad Electronic Books. These practical reference guides provide a wealth of interactive, easily accessible technical data to engineers, scientists, teachers and students.

As a bonus, Numerical Methods diskette is also included. Very cool staff!

From the printed content on the box:

The power you need to solve and communicate technical problems -- from start to finish.

Mathcad PLUS 6.0. It's the most advanced Mathcad ever. With more of the features you need to solve complex technical problems, including numeric and symbolic calculations, differential equations and advanced matrix operations. You can even write your own "live" functional programs that are fully integrated with the Mathcad environment.

Mathcad is the only technical calculation program that turns your computer screen into a live worksheet, so you can use real math notation to solve problems -- and get instant feedback as you try different approaches. It also lets you analyze data, build models and test different scenarios. And if you ever need help, new QuickSheets show you how.

By integrating text, equations and graphics, Mathcad also simplifies documentation. What's more, with connection to electronic mail, Lotus Notes and the World Wide Web, it opens up a world of communication and collaboration possibilities.

Add it all up, and you'll see why Mathcad PLUS 6.0 is an essential tool for technical professionals everywhere.
