The Symbolic Math Toolbox supports the Formula Manipulation and Simplification of mathematical functions. You get when you type help from within matlab, especially when Running the browser on the Unix Teaching System) easier to read than what You'll find the WWW version of the documentation (available only if you've You can also represent expressions in Fortran and C using If you want an expression to be expressed as LaTeX code, use the latex If you wanted to find theĭerivative of x*x the hard way you could do
You can quote the expression as a string (see the first example above), orĭefine x to be a symbol as in the following Matlab's unhappy that x doesn't have a value. Matlab will say " ? Undefined function or variable 'x'" because People have is with how Matlab and Maple interact.
