Symbolic Math in Matlab Matlab has a powerful symbolic math ability. Rather than making calculations on known numbers‚ we can make calculations on symbolic expressions. For example‚ what is the limit as x approaches inf of 1 + 1/2^1 + 1/2^2 + 1/2^3...+1/2^n ? Matlab can tell us. What is the integral of x^3 for any x? Matlab can tell us. Symbolic Math in Matlab Matlab allows you to create symbolic math expressions. This is useful when you don’t want to immediately compute an answer‚ or when
