The subs() function can be used to substitute one value for another, including a numeric value for symbolic one.

We will make use of these in the sections to come. Symbolic matrices are created in much the same way numeric matrices are. You can convert an expression to C code as follows ccode(g) You can convert an expression to latex as follows latex(g)

Exponents, for example are printed on the line above, trying to mimic how you might write them by hand pretty(g) The pretty() function tries to display a symbolic expression in a prettier way. H = compose(f,g) % functional composition: f(g(X)) f =įunctions of multiple variables can also be created. Note that these too are symbolic expressions, not function handles. We can build up more complicated symbolic expressions by defining functions of these variables. To convert a constant symbolic expression to a regular Matlab double value, use the double() function. Q = sym(22/14 + 18/402) % add two fractions exactly r = W = r*2-3/t % notice that r is not evaluated T = sym(2/3) % Need to use sym here, not syms

syms A B lambda X Y Z aĬonstant symbols can be defined too, which are not evaluated numerically. Symbolic variables are treated differently than regular variables in Matlab and must be created using the sym() or syms() functions.
