Unit 2
Identifiers and assignments
Input and output
Protocol(“ex.1”); → will save a human readable file but is not readable by MUPAD
Write(“temp.out”); → will save a session file readable by MUPAD and by humans although
it is NOT in prettyprint
Read(“ex.2”); → used to input a file with commands and will be executed, Note
READPATH must be set
Types
Domtype(a); → using this command will tell you what type the parameter <a> is
DOM_IDENT → an identifier not yet set with assignment
DOM_INT → integer
DOM_RAT → rational
DOM_FLOAT → real number (can convert to float by multiplying by
a float like 1.0
DOM_COMPLEX → any real, rational or int with I is complex
, DOM_STRING → characters enclosed in quotes
DOM_BOOL → values of TURE or FALSE
DOM_LIST → x: = [2.0, I,7, x^2];
DOM_SET → a: = {1,2, x^2, x^3, 2, x^2};
DOM_EXPR → y: = 1 + x^2;
DOM_ARRAY →
DOM_TABLE →
DOM_PROC →
DOM_POLY →
Unit 3
Simplification and substitution
Simplify(f,<exp,ln,sin,cos,sqrt,logic>); → used to simplify expressions where
the first parameter is the expression you are trying to simplify and the optional parameter is used to
restrict attention to a special class of simplification
Expand(f); → is used to transform a product of sums into a sum of products
Factor(f); → used for factoring expressions and polynomials
Normal(f); → expands the numerator and denominator of an expression
Subs(a + b*a, a = 4); → used to substitute a value for an identifier in an expression
Hold(sin); → used to substitute system functions such as sin, cos, etc. It stops the system from
evaluating the function
