MATLAB generates errors using 'mupadmex' and 'symengine' when executing bernoulli() commands.

I require the evaluation of certain Bernoulli polynomials for a Rayleigh-Bloch wave project. However, as an example, when I execute:

bernoulli( 0:2:10 ) ;

or

bernoulli( 1 , pi ) ;

I get this error message as follows:

Error using mupadmex
Internal error with symbolic engine. Quit and restart MATLAB.

Error in symengine

Error in sym (line 185)
        symengine;

Error in sympref>implementedSymprefs (line 142)
   y = {'FourierParameters', sym([1,-1]), 'MuPAD', 'sym';...

Error in sympref (line 81)
  iSymprefs = implementedSymprefs;

Error in digits (line 15)
    r = eval(mupadmex('DIGITS',0));

Error in sym.useSymForNumeric (line 157)
          oldDigits = digits(16);

Error in double/bernoulli (line 14)
Y = sym.useSymForNumeric(@bernoulli, varargin{:});

Warning: Failed to initialize symbolic preferences.

          oldDigits = digits(16);

Error in double/bernoulli (line 14)
Y = sym.useSymForNumeric(@bernoulli, varargin{:});

I have reinstalled MATLAB as a first port of call, but executing the same commands afterwards only repeated the same errors. Honestly, I have no idea what any of this error means, nor how I could go about fixing it. What's wrong with it? Better still, how do I fix it?

I managed to solve this problem myself by finding a similar problem on the MATLAB forum here.
