This is a competitor to MathCAD which is used for things like structural calculations. I've used it for traction drive calculations. Generally you're implementing equations that are defined in papers and it's really nice to be able to make them look roughly the same.

In MathCAD you can annotate them with actual snippets from the papers too. Definitely beats coding for some specific applications.
