Advanced Mathematics(5/34) Fitting Curves to Data The function polyval will evaluate a polynomial p at x;the form is polyval(p,x). For example:the polynomial -2x2+x+4 is evaluated at x=3, which yields -2 9+3+4,or-11: >>p=[-2141: >polyval (p,3) ans >polyval(p,1:3) -11 ans= 3 -2 -11 The argument x can be a vector. >polyval(p,[5 7]) ans= AW -41 -87 同濟大学 TONGJIUNIVERSITY

Advanced Mathematics(8/34) Symbolic Mathematics Symbolic mathematics means doing mathematics on symbols (not numbers！). For example:ata is 2a. The symbolic math functions are in the Symbolic Math Toolbox in MATLAB and toolboxes contain related functions.

Advanced Mathematics(9/34) Symbolic Mathematics MATLAB has a type called sym for symbolic variables and expressions;these work with strings. For example:to create a symbolic variable a and perform the addition just described,first a symbolic variable would be created by passing the string a'to the sym function: >>a=sym('a'）i >>a+a ans= 2*a @日济大学 TONGJI UNIVERSITY
