Method on @sym: mrdivide (x, y) ¶

Operator on @sym: x / y ¶

Forward slash division of symbolic expressions.

Example:

A = sym([1 pi; 3 4])
  ⇒ A = (sym 2×2 matrix)
      ⎡1  π⎤
      ⎢    ⎥
      ⎣3  4⎦
A / 2
  ⇒ ans = (sym 2×2 matrix)
      ⎡     π⎤
      ⎢1/2  ─⎥
      ⎢     2⎥
      ⎢      ⎥
      ⎣3/2  2⎦

The forward slash notation can be used to solve systems of the form A⋅B = C using A = C / B:

B = sym([1 0; 1 2]);
C = A*B
  ⇒ C = (sym 2×2 matrix)
      ⎡1 + π  2⋅π⎤
      ⎢          ⎥
      ⎣  7     8 ⎦
C / B
  ⇒ ans = (sym 2×2 matrix)
      ⎡1  π⎤
      ⎢    ⎥
      ⎣3  4⎦
C * inv(B)
  ⇒ ans = (sym 2×2 matrix)
      ⎡1  π⎤
      ⎢    ⎥
      ⎣3  4⎦
