how do I calculate laurent series in matlab?

Hi,

I have a problem with calculating the laurent series expansion in matlab. The problem is that when I call the function series in matlab, it chooses to run the function series from control systems toolbox. However I want to run the the function series included in MuPAD, which calculate a laurent series expansion (and more). How do I do this?

If anyone knows please answer. The help on mathworks does not provide any support for this. I am good at accepting answers

Hello Patrik, check out http://www.mathworks.com/help/symbolic/mupad_ref/series.html. What further support would you need?

[Mischa Kim]

First, use ver to check if the Symbolic Math Toolbox is installed. If it is simply type

mupad

to open the MuPAD and in MuPAD, as a test,

s := series(sin(x), x)

If this works you are good to go.

Ok I see, so the warning means that the function must be called in MuPad then? Not only that MATLAB uses the MuPAD interface? Because I tried to run the function in MuPAD and that worked completely well. It is only when I call the function from MATLAB I get errors.
