SMath is a free mathematical notebook program similar to Mathcad
that provides many options for studying and solving complex
mathematical equations. This book is a primer providing a concise
but thorough introduction that keeps physics at a fairly low level
so readers can concentrate on understanding the SMath features. A
wide range of topics are discussed in SMath for Physics including:
using SMath as a simple scratch pad; getting familiar with the
functions (polyroots, roots, and solve) to find the roots of the
equations; making use of SMath's built-in ability to perform
symbolic and numerical differentiation and numerical integration;
using the vector and matrix features; and performing linear and
non-linear regression analysis. The student who learns how to use
SMath can expect to get more accurate results compared to a
paper-and-calculator method since input errors are more easily
spotted on the SMath 'page'. The skills acquired learning SMath
will help the reader in future work - even if they end up working
for a company that uses Mathcad since the interface and features
are very similar.
