I hate MathCad

This program is driving me nuts. I've used it lightly before, but I figured I'd take the weekend to get it down where I can take a test quickly with it.

It's used alot by my Heat & Mass Transfer teacher, and we got to talking about it one day after class. He talks about how he uses it for everything now, and he gives his solutions in this format. Last time I took his test, I used a program called FEHT. He really pushed for the class to learn it, and apparently I was the only one that did. The test had 4 problems, and the first three could EASILY be worked in FEHT. Took me 20 minutes for the whole test. However, this test will not be that way. I figured if this 2nd test is like the first, those who use the program he uses will benefit, so I'm doing that. It's not that hard to figure out, it's just that the program is VERY picky at how the problem is set up. Units are a PITA with this thing.

Here's a screenshot of a problem:

Haha, that actually made me laugh. To be honest, that's a fairly simple problem. Only 5 equations to solve for to get the final answer. 2 of them are near identical. It's one of those, solve for this to get this, use that to get this, use that to get this, etc etc etc. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crazy.gif.c13912c32de98515d3142759a824dae7.gif
