  • Thanks Andrey Ivashov for this wonderful tool that you provided. It is designed very well and the best opensource alternative to MathCAD available.

    by Walter

  • Amazing very useful app!! Highly recommended!! Two thumbs up! :)

    by Maxx

  • Brilliant program. I have MathCAD but as they have gone for subscription based I am discontinuing that. Until now I have not found any design calculation that I cannot make using SMath Studio. I recommend to all of my customers to forget all spread sheet based calculations and go for SMath Studio. I have developed my own specialty engineering software and know how much work that is. Thank You Andrey.

    by Jouko Tolonen

  • As experienced mechanical guy, this powerful tool is extremely useful for calculation for my work activities, and amazing it is free please keep working for software crown and kick expensive mathcad away!

    by Kelvin Liu

  • Absolutely Gorgeous software, which can be a level riser for spreadsheet calculation, seamlessly extended for any kind of mathematical application.

    by Shiju VT

  • This is an excellent software for methodically solving/performing strenous formulas/calculations. It is an incredible inspiration that it is free !

    by Prasanna W

  • This fantastic free alternative to Mathcad is going from strength to strength and I am really enjoying watching its progress. Andrey has produced something that is genuinely useful, multiplatform, fun to use and, most importantly of all, he listens to his users. Well worth a download.

    by Beerus

  • I hope you keep on developing this great software! Thank you very much, it is easy and very efficient. If someone could help you to bring it closer to a nice text editor, it would probably replace Word for many engineers and other scientists.

    by Dimitris

  • I have used MathCAD since 1997. Loved it. I used to work for the Nuclear Industry in Canada, and we had these long calculation sheets fully written in MathCAD. As an independent researcher, I also had a student version which I could simply purchase from a campus bookstore as a CD. A few years later, disaster struck! A greedy corporate entity purchased MathCAD and destroyed it. A tool created for engineers by engineers with engineering in mind was destroyed by MBAs with only money in their minds. I was helpless until I discovered SMath. I was amazed at how SMath could do so many things with the installation file being just a few MB! And Andrey simply gave it away to us for free!! SMath has truly filled the void left by the now-extinct "old MathCAD". The fact that SMath is not bloatware and gives us researchers exactly what we need are reasons enough to call Andrey a genius. My dear Andrey, many of us are out there in various parts of the world quietly blessing you for helping us do our research calculations. You are a noble soul with a spirit that cares for a better world. Trust me, you have in your own way made our world a better place to live through SMath. God bless you. I shall surely donate an amount as a symbolic gesture for your great work. Please continue to serve the world and may God bless you with good health, a long life, peace, prosperity, and a sound mind that scientifically contributes for as long as you live and pave the way for your glorious legacy long after we are all gone.

    by Dr. M Sathya Prasad

  • Amazing, well-done, useful tool. A small donation was sent your way. This small comment of praise is a follow-up.

This is AWESOME! I'll play with it this weekend. I may convert several small sheets just to see. The documentation should be much improved and cleaner!
With all of the text formatting options, any plans on
  • Setting up "Styles" (e.g. Header 1, 2) This would tie into a table of context in the future Good or
  • making this the default setting (e.g. integrating writer region as part of the install). You could keep it as a plugin to update it separately

I believe this is how IRFanview does it ... they ship with a few plugins as part of the install that can be updated independently.

Yes, I have plans to make it possible to specify a document structure to generate TOC. Just need to finish current work to provide all the basic operations.

What you see is not a Writer Region, this is updated Text Region, so it is already a part of the installation package. As I know Davide already working to update Writer Region, so it will be possible to choose what editor to use for the Document mode. UI to choose the editor is already available. Text Region allows me to test all the functionality fast and easy, but Writer Region I think will have more capacities.
Regarding default setting... I think it will be two different programs (in a single package): SMath Studio for standard worksheets and SMath Writer (?) for these new Documents. UI will be different (Ribbon, WPF), another files format, etc. It will be easier to make a choice for user because of different modes will be distinguished enough.

At least these is a plan.

Best regards.

Is there any way to get it to stop automatically making my text into equations in text regions? Or a way to easily change it back when it does that? In trying to reference gridlines from my drawings in my SMath calcs, it keeps turning the typical date format with slashes (i.e. 01/01/2021) into fractions, which is definitely not what I want! Trying to reference a particular drawing sheet like "S1-05" gets turned into a statement of subtraction. And then the only way to get rid of the equation section of the text region is highlight it and delete and retype that portion with spaces and go back and delete the spaces afterward. It looks like the Writer region doesn't do that, but these are long calcs that I reuse and they are filled with text regions that are now tedious to edit with this version unless there's some shortcut or setting that can be changed. The new text-editing functionality looks useful, but it's maybe a bit overzealous in interpreting user intent right now?

Currently no, but I'm working on it.

You are using beta version of the program which has many different issues. Some functionality is missing and some - added for testing purposes only.
Beta versions created for those who wants to see what's new will be available in the next stable version.
Answering to your question:
- it will be possible to disable auto replacement feature;
- it will be easy to cancel replacement if it is not what user wants;
- auto replacement will become smarter from version to version.

So if possible I would recommend you to use stable versions - it will minimize situations when something not expected happens.

Best regards.

OK, that sounds good. Good I am aware of it being a beta version, but I had apparently saved my latest copy of my calc in a beta version since November's stable release (oops), so I thought I would go ahead and install this one and see how things had come along since this was several steps up on build number. I do like the text-editing functionality since I used to have to try to arrange my text with big spaces and then overlap text and math regions to have an "inline formula", but the formatting always looked a little off, so this will be a useful feature. And I try to let developers know about anything I find in a beta release that hampers how I use the program in case that's an issue for other users. I've talked to other developers that introduce a new feature in beta, and it either never gets seen by the appropriate users who would be affected negatively, or they just don't give any feedback about it, and then the developer gets all kinds of negative feedback when the new feature makes it into a production release and all the regular users have their workflow changed unexpectedly. So I try to comment where I can. Hopefully it didn't come across as complaining; my comment was more to let you know in case the things I tend to write in text regions are not like what you were thinking of when programming the responsiveness to creating formulas "on the fly" in there.

It also seems to be replacing symbols with codes like below, where it replaced "&" with "&amp".
