If you are visiting Boston this week for the American Mathematical Association of Two Year Colleges (AMATYC) Annual Meeting, stop by Booth 336 to meet the Mathcad Education Team and to learn more about Mathcad 15.0 and its role in PTC’s STEM Education Programs. Ned Daniels and I have been working hard to prepare for the conference. We both have a strong interest in supporting the hard work of teaching mathematics to the next generations of American workers. We know that AMATYC's membership shares our passion for this mission. We look forward to many engaging conversations at AMATYC Boston!
Whether you are attending the conference or not, I hope that you will take a few minutes to read my most recent thinking about the challenges that we face in mathematics education in the United States at the close of the first decade of the 21st Century.
Community Colleges are the new Firewall for Math Education in the USIn mathematics education the first two years of college at four-year institutions and at two-year colleges is becoming the critical junction in the American educational system. Perhaps this was an inevitable result of the way that we, in the United States, approached reform in mathematics education. As our current reform era has marched forward the K-12 educational system has become increasingly effective at promoting students within a standards-based assessment regime. In doing so, the K-12 system is passing on the problems of deep, generative learning outcomes to higher education. As a consequence the largest growing sector of mathematics education at the college level is developmental mathematics.

Baker also suggested the use of a variety of statistical analysis programs such as JMP or Mathcad. Baker concludes that companies must see outsourcing of manufacturing not as a cost center, but a value center. When deciding to outsource, |
Spent about 2 hours trying to make numbers work out right... Gave up, plugged it in MathCad, did it in about 30 seconds. 
Tip 3D: All nodelock PTC Creo and Mathcad licenses include home use copies only under active maintenance
after 4 years in Engineering, now I know how to use mathcad. INTEGRATE O KAHIT ANONG MATRIX KAYANG KAYA! hahaha
