                   MATHSOFT RELEASES RESULTS FOR FIRST QUARTER

CAMBRIDGE,  Mass., April 20, 1999 - MathSoft, Inc. (Nasdaq: MATH) today reported
net  income of approximately $637,000, or $0.06 per diluted share, for its first
quarter  ended  March  31,  1999.  This compares with net income of $481,000, or
$0.05 per diluted share for the corresponding quarter of 1998.  Revenues for the
first  quarter  of  1999 grew approximately 15%, reaching $6.5 million, compared
with  $5.7  million  achieved  in  the  first  quarter  of  the  prior  year.

"MathSoft  continues  to demonstrate leadership in its core markets, with steady
revenue  growth, timely new product flow and respectable earnings," said Charles
Digate,  president  and  CEO.

Founded  in  1984,  MathSoft  is  the  provider  of  a  broad  line of technical
calculation  and analytical software for business and academia.  With MathSoft's
products,  users can deploy technical calculations and exploratory data analyses

Information  contained  in  this  document  which  refers  to  MathSoft's future
financial  performance represents management's best estimate at the present time
and actual results could differ materially from present estimates.  Factors that
might  cause  such  differences  include,  but  are  not  limited  to, the risks
associated  with  distribution channels; the risks associated with international
operations;  the  risks associated with acquisitions; and the ability to enhance
current  products  and  to  introduce  new products in a timely fashion.  Please
refer  to the cautionary statements appearing in MathSoft's Annual and Quarterly
Reports  and  prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for a
discussion of these and other various factors that could cause MathSoft's actual
