how do i get an evaluation copy of matlab symbolic toolbox

I had a vague nagging feeling that I used to do this kind of thing in Mathcad (and why I was half-expecting someone to point out the correct method of doing it in M15 and Prime). Here's an example in MC11:Īh! Thanks for pointing that out, Richard. I don't know if that's because of licensing issues, or just because they never changed it.

That rule seems to have stuck, even when the symbolic engine was switched to Mupad.

In CasADi, this code executes in the blink of a second, whereas conventional computer algebra systems fail to construct the expression altogether. So for MC12 and later a program can be evaluated symbolically, but symbolic operations can not be embedded in programs. This includes expressions defined by recursions that cannot be simplified, for example: from casadi import xSX.sym ('x') yx for i in range (100): y sin (y)y. In fact, it broke the licensing agreement with Maple (which may have had something to do with the switch to MuPad I'm not sure about that though). You could only do this by copy and paste though, because it was not officially supported. Mathcad's symbolic processor is a cut-down version of MuPad.īack in the days of MC11 you could add more than one symbolic line to a program. I've often wanted to construct a procedure that contains the symbolic commands as an integral part of its construction, rather than have them be only available through the separate symbolic evaluation operator eg, I'd like to write:Īnd then symbolically evaluate the function to allow its use by the numerical processor. Overall, I still prefer the look and feel of a Mathcad worksheet, although I think the integration of the symbolic commands could be improved. There are, however, some MuPad features that will only run in the Notebook interface (eg, contfrac). You don't need to type mupad in to use it, though. just different, although I do like the 'standard' math notation for the results. I've only used it a couple of times, and I can't say that I find it any 'friendlier' than the normal Matlab interface when used with its toolbox interface (ie, as an App). As Richard says, the Symbolic Toolbox is effectively MuPad.
