What Are the Symbolic Math Toolboxes?
The Symbolic Math Toolboxes incorporate symbolic computation into the numeric environment of MATLAB®. These toolboxes supplement MATLAB numeric and graphical facilities with several other types of mathematical computation, which are summarized in following table. Facility Covers Calculus Differentiation, integration, limits, summation, and Taylor series Linear Algebra Inverses, determinants, eigenvalues, singular value decomposition, and canonical forms of symbolic matrices Simplification Methods of simplifying algebraic expressions Solution of Equations Symbolic and numerical solutions to algebraic and differential equations Special Mathematical Functions Special functions of classical applied mathematics Variable-Precision Arithmetic Numerical evaluation of mathematical expressions to any specified accuracy Transforms Fourier, Laplace, z-transform, and corresponding inverse transforms The computational engine underlying the toolboxes is the kernel of Maple®, a system developed primar
