Introduction to Symbolic Math with MATLAB

Offered By: MathWorks via MATLAB Academy

Course Description

Introduction: Familiarize yourself with symbolic math and the course.
Creating Symbolic Variables: Represent numbers symbolically instead of numerically. Create symbolic variables.
Mathematical Expressions with Symbolic Variables: Create and visualize symbolic mathematical expressions, and substitute values for symbolic variables.
Creating and Solving Symbolic Equations: Define and solve algebraic equations containing symbolic variables.
Algebraic Manipulation and Simplification: Manipulate, evaluate, and simplify symbolic equations and expressions.
Working with Assumptions: Set assumptions on symbolic variables to get real world results.
Working with Units of Measurement: Assign real world units to symbolic variables and convert from one unit of measurement to another.
Creating Symbolic Functions: Define mathematical functions containing symbolic variables.
Visualizing Symbolic Functions and Equations: Visualize functions and equations in two and three dimensions.
Review Project I: Bring together concepts you have learned with a project.
Calculus with Symbolic Math: Perform common calculus tasks symbolically, like differentiating, integrating, finding Taylor polynomials, and solving ordinary differential equations.
Review Project II: Bring together concepts that you have learned with a project.
Next Steps: Give feedback on the course.
