Improvements to the application 

Programming for Additional Controls: Mathcad Prime 10 has advanced controls that let users add checkboxes, list boxes, radio buttons, buttons, sliders, and text boxes to their worksheets. These enable users to exactly specify how each spreadsheet control behaves. This feature makes use of scripting languages like VBScript and JScript to provide a customizable and comprehensive method of manipulating variable values. This new feature's main advantage is automation, which lets users greatly increase productivity by streamlining worksheet functionality.

Subscript and Superscript in Wording: You can now format text regions with subscript and superscript characters, for example, when describing parameter values with exponents or variable IDs.

Innovations to the symbolic engine 

Increased application of the term "fully": Mathcad Prime 10 has more applications for the term "fully." Additionally, support for this keyword's "fact" and "max" modifiers has been introduced.

The new "standard" term is: A new keyword, "standard," has been added that displays the integration constant in indefinite integrals and permits Big-O notation with series expansion. 

Better support for "undefined": This version of the symbolic engine provides better support for "undefined" outcomes. More equivalence and compatibility with the "NaN" of the numeric engine are thus made possible, enabling symbolic support of the NaN class of functions. 

General keyword enhancements: The terms "rewrite," "solve," and "simplify" have general improvements in Mathcad Prime 10. Five new modifiers have been added to rewrite: arg, atan2, fact, sign, and \. These modifiers allow rewriting expressions in the terms that correspond to them. There are more supported use cases for Solve and Simplify than ever before. 

Modifications to the Numerical Engine

Multiprocessing: Mathcad Prime 10's enhanced multithreading feature allows users to fully utilize all of its features. Users can perform multiple independent calculations at the same time. By utilizing your multi-core processors, this function improves the efficiency of spreadsheet calculations, particularly those with numerous separate threads of computation. When your worksheet is designed to include independent, non-sequential computations, this leads to speedier processing times.

Enhanced calculus operators: These comprise general engine and dissolve enhancements. Expanding upon the previous version of pdesolve, users can now specify both implicit and explicit border requirements in addition to mixed boundary conditions. Additionally, unit support has been implemented. Additionally, the numeric engine performs better when handling unitless zero in a matrix and evaluating inline assignments.

Advancements in usability 

Improvements to Mathcad Prime 10's usability include:

• Opening a file from within an Include Worksheet region

• A file's immediate opening from the legacy worksheet converter

• the inclusion of system and world dates in headers and footers

• The capability of creating a direct link to a certain area of a different worksheet

• Being able to print your worksheet without seeing the collapsible area border
