9.4. Summary

This chapter is divided in two parts. Firstly, the solution of a set of Ordinary Differential Equations is discussed and then symbolic mathematics is introduced and different functions used are illustrated with examples. The complete chapter can be summarized as follows:

  • The available MATLAB ODE solvers are discussed. These are ode45, ode23, ode113, ode15s, ode23s, ode23t, ode23tb and ode15i.

  • The steps involved for using these solvers for the solution of ordinary differential equations in MATLAB are discussed.

  • The use of sym or syms functions in the symbolic mathematics has been illustrated.

  • The representation of symbolic expressions has been described using illustrations.

  • The subs function is used to evaluate the symbolic expression ...
