Octave has a symbolic computation package!

octave symbolic-computation

I was happy to learn that Octave has a symbolic computation package! I last used Matlab’s version in grad school to compute analytical Jacobians.

To use, have octave installed and the symbolic package

sudo apt install octave-symbolic

and then example use is below:

pkg load symbolic
syms xw yw zw w
X = [xw; yw; zw; w];

Octave docs – symbolic package.
