"Great for everyday computations", Mathcad is the most convenient and flexible software for everyday computations on the market. The use of standard mathematical notations makes it very easy to follow the logic of calculations in a worksheet (as opposed to code based interface of other software packages). It also allows very fast learning - you can start doing your calculations with Mathcad almost immediately, even if you never used it before.

Mathcad combines ability to do numerical calculations with a very intuitive way to work with symbolic mathematics. It is not as advanced as Matlab for programming and data based numerical computations, but is far superior if you want to work with mathematical functions and operators as opposed to just array of numbers. In this way Mathcad is similar to Maple, but its interface is much more intuitive. I found that in 90% of cases Mathcad was more convenient to use for me that Matlab or Maple.

One drawback is that Mathcad has somewhat limited ability to customize the appearance of graphs. It is enough to make rough plots of data to analyze results, but it is generally not sufficient to make publication quality graphs. In this case I normally generate data sets with Mathcad and plot it with more specialized software such as Origin. Also, it is not always optimized for speed - large scale computations make take long time. But if you are in business of doing large scale computations, you are probable using custom developed code anyway.

Overall Mathcad is excellent tool for most day-to-day calculations.

"Excellent!", I like very much this software. MathCad gives you the chance to go into deep electrical engineering analisys without wasting time with mathematicals work-arounds
