About simplify symbolic expression

[Rui Pereira]

Hello,

I have a question about OCTAVE.
I normally use Matlab and you can use symbolic toobox which allows you to
simplify
symbolic variables.
Is there in OCTAVE anything similar?
For instance in Matlab if I write:

"syms x1 x2
f=sin(x1)*sin(x1)+cos(x1)*cos(x1)+x2*x2*x1
simplify(f)
"
I obtain,

"f =
 
x1*x2^2 + cos(x1)^2 + sin(x1)^2
 
 
ans =
 
x1*x2^2 + 1
 "

How can I do the same in GNU OCTAVE?

Thanks a lot,
Rui Pereira
