Taken from Hicks' "Standard Handbook for Engineering Calculations", this CD-ROM allows users to solve problems on screen using "live" maths equations. It allows direct and immediate access, via a table of contents and by searching, to specific topics of interest. It is arranged in sections, each of which may contain one or more pages from the book, and the sections are organized topically. There are 35 sections in all, covering basic calculations for chemical and process plant engineering. The product uses the Mathcad engine and Microsoft Viewer and runs on Windows.
