Learn the basics of symbolic math in MATLAB®. Instead of manipulating and solving equations yourself on paper, why not have MATLAB do it for you?
Familiarize yourself with symbolic math and the course.
Represent numbers symbolically instead of numerically. Create symbolic variables.
Create and visualize symbolic mathematical expressions, and substitute values for symbolic variables.
Define and solve algebraic equations containing symbolic variables.
Manipulate, evaluate, and simplify symbolic equations and expressions.
Set assumptions on symbolic variables to get real world results.
Assign real world units to symbolic variables and convert from one unit of measurement to another.
Define mathematical functions containing symbolic variables.
Visualize functions and equations in two and three dimensions.
Bring together concepts you have learned with a project.
Perform common calculus tasks symbolically, like differentiating, integrating, finding Taylor polynomials, and solving ordinary differential equations.
Bring together concepts that you have learned with a project.
