Symbolic Math Toolbox
Perform symbolic math computations
Symbolic Math Toolbox™ provides functions for solving and manipulating symbolic math expressions and
performing variable-precision arithmetic. You can analytically perform differentiation, integration, simplification,
transforms, and equation solving. You can also generate code for MATLAB®, Simulink®, and Simscape™ from
symbolic math expressions.
Symbolic Math Toolbox includes the MuPAD® language, which is optimized for handling and operating on
symbolic math expressions. It provides libraries of MuPAD functions in common mathematical areas such as
calculus and linear algebra and in specialized areas such as number theory and combinatorics. You can also write
custom symbolic functions and libraries in the MuPAD language. The MuPAD Notebook app lets you document
symbolic math derivations with embedded text, graphics, and typeset math. You can share the annotated
derivations as HTML or as a PDF.
Symbolic Math Toolbox is included in MATLAB and Simulink Student Version.

Computing in Symbolic Math Toolbox
Symbolic Math Toolbox provides a complete set of tools for symbolic computing that augments the numeric
capabilities of MATLAB. The toolbox includes extensive symbolic functionality that you can access directly from
the MATLAB command line or from the MuPAD Notebook app. You can extend the functionality available in the
toolbox by writing custom symbolic functions or libraries in the MuPAD language.
The toolbox also enables you to translate symbolic results for use with MATLAB, Simulink, and Simscape.
