To differentiate an expression that contains more than one symbolic variable, specify the variable that you want to differentiate with respect to. The diff command then calculates the partial …

The diff function can differentiate expressions or functions of type sym, symfun, symmatrix, symfunmatrix, double, and single with respect to differentiation parameters of type symmatrix …

For differentiation, you can differentiate an array of data using gradient, which uses a finite difference formula to calculate numerical derivatives. To calculate derivatives of functional …

Aug 9, 2025 · Run code in the background using MATLAB® backgroundPool or accelerate code with Parallel Computing Toolbox™ ThreadPool. This function fully supports thread-based …

MATLAB®'s function diff amplifies the noise, and the resulting inaccuracy worsens for higher derivatives. To fix this problem, use a differentiator filter instead.

For example, to show the order of a polynomial or symbolically differentiate or integrate a polynomial, use the standard polynomial form with all the parentheses multiplied out and all …

Apr 19, 2013 · I have my temperature in the y axis, and my distance in the x. I have them all plotted out and I have the data too, how can I take the derivative of the plot?

Feb 26, 2012 · Just here to suggest some recent resources, There is a nice section in the Symbolic Math Toolbox with additional examples for differentiation as well as a FEX …

May 19, 2014 · Hi I have a number of points (experimental data) plotted as an x-y plot. I want to generate the derivative of y w.r.t x from this plot. Is there a function in MATLAB which can do …

This example shows how to analytically find and evaluate derivatives using Symbolic Math Toolbox™.
