    It is very close to Mathcad and works in the same way. Many of the other alternatives are toolboxes for programming rather than actual worksheets.

    Very easy syntax to tap on, thus making it very convenient to do engineering calculation with units,function,plot and substitution. In a word, almost a perfect alternative for Calcpad.
