Symbolic Math Toolbox

Symbolic Objects
The Symbolic Math Toolbox defines a new MATLAB data type called a symbolic object or sym (see the MATLAB topic Programming and Data Types for an introduction to MATLAB classes and objects). Internally, a symbolic object is a data structure that stores a string representation of the symbol. The Symbolic Math Toolbox uses symbolic objects to represent symbolic variables, expressions, and matrices.
