MathCad is a computer algebra system somewhat similar to Mathematica or Maple, and oriented towards ease of use and applications such as plotting. It is distributed by Mathsoft. MathCad has a "notebook" frontend interface similar to Scientific Notebook, and is easy and intuitive to use, making use of point-and-click layouts and keystrokes for basic tasks, such as plotting functions or data sets.

Some of Mathcad's mathematical capabilities are based on a subset (MKM aka Mathsoft Kernel Maple) of the Maple computer algebra system.
