Can the symbolic toolbox be used to derive results for arbitrary number n?

1 visualización (últimos 30 días)
I wish to do some calculations for my research for a general number n, but the calculations are hellishly long. I was wondering if matlab can be used to do this.
Consider as an example problem the sum of first 'n' natural numbers.
Can I use the matlab symbolic toolbox to arrive at the result n(n+1) / 2?
If yes, how can I do that?
