SYMBOLIC CALCULATIONS including
• Algebra
• Transcendental Equations
• Calculus
• Ordinary
Differential
Equations

Chapter Sections NOT Covered
 §4 → Matrix Operations
 §7 → LaPlace Transforms
 §8 → Special Functions
 Carefully Study the Book for Syntax
• Learn MuPAD by
– “Stare & Compare” (examples)
– Hacking
– And, if all else fails, then HELP!

MATLAB Symbolic MATH
 In Addition to Using NUMBERS
MATLAB can Manipulate SYMBOLS
 Basically, a Mathematics HandBook has
been codifed in Software by a group at
the University of Paderborn in Germany
 The MathWORKS Purchased The
“MuPAD” Symbolic Math “Engine” (or
“Kernal”), and Integrated it into MATLAB
• MuPAD uses Pascal-like Syntax

MuPAD → SYMBOLIC Calcs
 MuPAD, sort of Like SimuLink, is a
program within-a Program
• SimuLink creates Icon-based “Models” (.mdl)
of Mathematical Systems
– SimuLink produces NUMERICAL Resuls
 MuPAD creates “NoteBooks” (.mn) in
which SYMBOLIC quantities can be used
• The Symbols can be associated with NO
particular number value
– It’s similar to a Math Book that does the work

Symbolic Computation
 The Differences Between Symbolic and
Numeric Computation
Numerical
Variables Represent
Numbers
Variables are Symbols; e.g., x,
y, z, β, θ, σ
Answers can Only be
Numbers
Answers can contain Variables
and Functions
Numeric Computation
can be done using
Standard Programming
Languages
Engineering/Math/Physics 25: Computational Methods
7
Symbolic
Symbolic computations are not
similar to standard programming
languages – they use symbolic
Manipulations

MuPAD BackGround
 MuPAD is a part a generic class of
Software called a “Computer
Algebra System” (CAS).
• MuPAD research group at the University of
Paderborn, Germany originally developed
this symbolic-manipulation software
 The MathWORKS purchased MuPAD to
replace the previous “Symbolic Math
Kernal” written by MapleSoft

MuPAD “NoteBook”
 MuPAD creates within MATLAB its own
working SubWindows Called NoteBooks
• The User works/types in the “NoteBooks”
• NoteBooks saved with extension: .mn
 For MuPAD beginers it’s best start at
the MuPAD “Welcome” screen
 At the MATLAB Command Prompt type

Importance of “Evaluation”
 The CALCULATION regions in MuPAD
can be Inserted, Deleted, Edited
 After Editing, We may have to
EVALUATE the edit using the TOOL or
PULL DOWN MENU
 If a change in an OUTPUT Region does
NOT happen as expected; then be
SURE to EVALUATE the CALC region
• “EVALUATE ALL” often works best
Engineering/Math/Physics 25: Computational Methods
17
Bruce Mayer, PE
BMayer@ChabotCollege.edu • ENGR-25_Lec-25_SimuLink-2.ppt
Evaluate by TOOL
 Place the cursor
IN the CALC
Region
 Then Hit the
Evaluate Button
to initiate the
Calculation
 Note also the
ASSIGNMENT
Operator →
:=
Engineering/Math/Physics 25: Computational Methods
18
After EVALUATE
Bruce Mayer, PE

Evaluate Options
 Use the PullDown Menu for
Different forms of
the
EVALUATION
 Use the
NOTEBOOK
Pull-Down
• “Evalute All”
works well

NOT have a left

 CALC & OUTPUT

FLOAT command
 The float
command produces
a DECIMAL Result
for an otherwise
integer display
Engineering/Math/Physics 25: Computational Methods
22
 Caveat on float(%)
 The float(%)
command changes
the LAST
EVALUATED result
to a decimal; not
necessarily the value
right above (or below)
the float(%)
command

 A MuPAD Function is
called a Procedure

Copy-n-Paste in MuPAD
 The TEXT regions
can be copied &
pasted in the normal
fashion
 In MSWord The
BLUE “Hand Math”
must be copied and
“Pasted Special” as
a “Device
Independent
Bitmap”
Engineering/Math/Physics 25: Computational Methods
28
 In PPT A Plain
“Bitmap” PasteSpecial also works
 Examples of the two
Bitmaps into PPT
shown below
Bruce Mayer, PE
BMayer@ChabotCollege.edu • ENGR-25_Lec-25_SimuLink-2.ppt
Copy-n-Paste in MuPAD
 Pasting in MSWord requires TWO
Copy-n-Paste Operations
1. Paste TEXT Regions NORMALLY
2. Paste “Script Math” Using “Paste Special”

Copy-n-Paste in MuPAD
 To AVOID All this Copy-n-Paste Hassle
• Simplest is to just PRINT the MuPAD
NoteBook
– Only get one Problem per sheet
• Do an alt+PrtScrn to copy the MuPAD
window, then paste the whole window into
MSWord
• Do an entire SCREEN-SHOT and crop it
back to the MuPAD part
– If MuPAD window not maximized
