MATLAB: How to add Maple packages to the Extended Symbolic Math Toolbox

Question

I would like to add Maple packages to the Extended Symbolic Math Toolbox.

Answer 1

The procedure to add any package you wish to the Extended Symbolic Math Toolbox is as follows:

1. Find the package of interest. For example, you can find many additional packages at the following website:

http://www.maplesoft.com/applications/

2. Extract the files in a directory (for example d:\work\MaplePackage\)

3. Run the following code in MATLAB:

maple('libname := "D:/work/MaplePackage", libname:')

At this point, if you run the code:

mhelp packageName

you will see a list of functions available in that particular package.
