Question

matlab

Answer 1

Matlab P, any1 familiar with it ?

Answer 2

Are stationary points the roots of the function?

Answer 3

stationary points means the function equates to zero

Answer 4

Okay. So roots.

Answer 5

yh, then diff

Answer 6

For the first part, you can use the Symbolic Tool Kit as suggested, but I despise the symbolic tool kit. It is sloppy.

Do you have a preferred method?

Answer 7

I guess you left. I'll type up a MATLAB file with a couple of different methods.

Answer 8

the method suggested was sym toolkit

Answer 9

I solved it both ways. Chose the method you find most prudent to your studies and analysis.

Answer 10

to find stationary points means to diff. then equ8 the differential to zero

Answer 11

Oh okay. I thought you meant the roots. To find where the derivative is zero, use the 'diff' function in the Symbolic Tool Box, or 'diff' or 'polydif' functions with a set of data. Refer to the documentation.
