The following, for example, produces the result 5/6. Only digits, arithmetic operations will be different to those in

Objects are essentially strings, but even if those strings contain Familiarity with them will help when using maple. Things of this type are created using the sym and With the Symbolic Math Toolbox comes a new matlab datatype - symbolic

Numerical answers, so adding the 2 lines below will print out '4' and '3'. By using matlab'sĮval command you can make seven be evaluated, getting the The answers are right, but not in a very useful form. You'll find that a and b are given in terms of the symbol So for example, if you try something similar to the Note that maple doesn't automatically know the values of variables you've 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. Matlab's own routine, which does prime factorisation). (note that if you try to use factor directly, you'll call YouĬan send maple commands to it using matlab's mapleĬommand, or for common routines like int (to integrate)įirst, some examples to convince you that it's worth reading on! Is actually a cut-down version of the Maple program. Integrating, differentiating, etc) and also has some solving routines. Which performs symbolic maths commands (factorising, simplifying, Useful that we have installed is called the Symbolic Toolbox Matlab has lots of adds-ons (called toolboxes). Information look at the References Introduction See Matlab - the Symbolic Toolbox based on Mupad for Only any use with matlab releases prior to 2008b. Refers to the Symbolic Toolbox based on Maple rather than Mupad, so it's Learning to use the Symbolic Toolbox might save you hours of time. Matlab - the Symbolic Toolbox based on Maple This little document hopes to convince you that spending a few minutes Cambridge University Engineering Department - Matlab: the Symbolic Toolbox based on Maple
