  I have found MathCad to be VERY easy to learn, especially with its
format for setting-up the equations in the same format you would use
on paper (ie integration, matrix, etc).  The help menu is also very
good.

  MathCad's interactive environment is a big advantage, and most people
would not be able to duplicate its flexibility by writing their own code.
With the ability to graph interactively, a very nice page can be printed
which includes relative equations as well as plotted results.
