Mathcad Simulations

The following files are on the Bellarmine Server (Word versions are available for printing out if you have a problem with MathCAD): Learn more about MathCad in Secret Readings

• Mathcad Explorer is a viewer for *.MCD files (crippled. Will not save files but use this for the programs that may use advanced functions)  NOTE: When opening a file you need to set it for MCD files (the default is handbook).

• A tutorial on Mathcad can be found here (off-site or on-site if first link is broken).

• NOTE: These programs were written using Mathcad 2000i. They can be be run using Mathcad Explorer (get that HERE). Newer versions of Mathcad may not be associated with the *.mcd extension used for these. Version 14, for example, expects a *.xmcd extension. Here's the work-around: right-click the Mathcad program link and save the program to your desktop. Start your version of Mathcad and then just open it as you would any file.

• Population Models 1

• Continuous Generation Population Growth

• Discrete Generation Growth Model NOTE: To watch the movie you need to download this and put it in the same directory as the model.

• Compete (two and three species models) Oddly, this may not work with the non-crippled commercial versions of Mathcad, but it works fine with Mathcad Explorer
