The CACHE Corporation Provides Low-Cost Educational Site Licenses for Polymath 6.1 - the Latest Version of the Polymath
Numerical Computation Package
POLYMATH allows the user to apply effective numerical analysis techniques during interactive problem solving on personal computers running Microsoft Windows ™ 2000 through Vista™. POLYMATH results are presented in tables and graphs for easy understanding and for incorporation into papers and reports. Students, faculty and practicing engineers appreciate the easy entry of the problems and the efficiency and speed of problem solution. Current Polymath capabilities (Academic Site License Version) include Linear Equations (up to 100), Nonlinear Equations (up to 30 nonlinear and 40 explicit equations), Differential Equations (up to 30 differential and 40 explicit equations), Data Analysis and Regression (up to 60 model and independent variables and up to 301 data points).Excel © users can automatically export a POLYMATH problem to Excel with a single keypress. The resulting spreadsheet, including translated intrinsic functions, logical variables and logical expressions, is is ready for solution. A POLYMATH ODE_Solver Add-In is also included for solving ordinary differential equations in Excel.MATLAB© users can utilize the option of automatic generation of MATLAB code from a Polymath problem. Code is ordered and includes conversion of all intrinsic functions, logical variables, and logical expressions. Provided templates allow for easy generation of m-files ready for execution with MATLAB. More information on Polymath is available from the following web site that also contains access to related publications and many problems. http://www.polymath-software.com/ Click here for a brief Introduction to Polymath 6.1 Click here to get a detailed Overview of Polymath 6.1 Click here to download and setup a 15-day free trial of the Polymath Educational Version
Educational Site License InformationThe academic site license allows a department to use Polymath in all computer labs and to make individual copies available to all students, faculty, and staff for installation on their computers for their use. Polymath can be provided by computer networks that are within a department. Site licenses for Engineering colleges and entire colleges/universities are available. The current annual site license costs for Polymath departmental site licenses are $175 for the first year and $125 for each successive year thereafter. CACHE nonmember institution rates are an initial $200 for the first year and a $150 annual fee for subsequent years. These fees cover any updates or new versions. Polymath for subsequent years are distributed in June of each year and that version will execute through September of the following year. Additional updates throughout the year may be issued. Participating departments are requested to distribute individual copies of the Polymath setup file from protected directories or in a manner that individuals outside of the institution cannot download the software. Polymath Trial OfferCACHE invites faculty to request a site license from the CACHE Office for testing and evaluation. If your department decides to obtain Polymath for a three-month testing period (or a semester), please note the following: Arrangements are made through Janet Elliott at the CACHE Office. ORDERING EDUCATIONAL SITE LICENSES FROM CACHE To order an educational site license, please complete the CACHE Standard Order form. This link will open a new window. After printing the order form, simply close the window to return to this page. For more information, contact Janet Elliott at the CACHE Office.INDIVIDUAL USER AND CORPORATE SITE LICENSES FOR POLYMATHAdditional individual and site licenses of Polymath are available from POLYMATH Software and are not available through CACHE. Ordering information for Educational and Professional versions is available from the Polymath web site where direct download and optional CD-ROMs are available. Low-prices Individual student educational versions are availalbe. More information including fully functional 15-day trial versions can be found on the Polymath web site.

TEXTBOOK IS AVAILABLE
A recent paperback companion book/textbook has been published by Prentice-Hall. Problem Solving in Chemical and Biochemical Engineering with POLYMATH, Excel, and MATLAB. Authors: Michael B. Cutlip, University of Connecticut
and Examination copies are available from the following link: http://www.pearsonhighered.com/educator/academic/product/0,,0131482041,00%2ben-USS_01DBC.html This book is a paperback and it lists at $60, but one can buy it for about $47 through Amazon.com and other book sellers. This book provides and introduction to Polymath and has chapters related to the use of Excel and MATLAB that Polymath enables. There are chapters on Basic Principles and Calculations and Regression and Correlation of Data. In addition, there are individual chapters in the main subject areas of chemical and biochemical engineering that provide about 180 detailed problems that require numerical solutions. This book can be used as the textbook or resource book in an introductory course in computing/problem solving or in the introductory chemical engineering course. It can then be a resource book through the rest of the curriculum. The book and selected use of problems can integrate numerical problem solving throughout the curriculum. (This may allow a department to drop a required numerical analysis course.) Individual faculty members will typically find book problems useful in core courses for providing numerical problems in core courses. The book has a dedicated web site, and the link is: http://www.problemsolvingbook.com/ There is a protected instructor web site that contains all the book solutions with all three software packages and other materials. (Contact Michael B. Cutlip for more information.) Please send questions, comments, suggestions, and corrections to Janet Elliott at the CACHE Office.
