You can save your work in a Mupad ‘Notebook’ (a bit like a MATLAB script) by going the the File>Save
menu. The file should be saved with the default .mn extension. MATLAB is fairly robust, but it does
crash unexpectedly now and again (usually when you try to resize a window), so it’s worth saving lengthy
calculations frequently.
Mupad notebooks can also include detailed comments and annotations that help readers follow what the
calculations are doing. To insert a text paragraph, just hit the button, or use Insert>Text Paragraph.
Use Insert> Calculation to go back to typing in math, or use the button.
You can also export a Mupad notebook to html or pdf format, if you want to publish your work.
7. Basic algebra
Mupad is quite good at doing algebra. For example, it can solve equations
Because there are two solutions, they are returned in a set (enclosed by {}). You can extract each one by
using the [number] convention.
IMPORTANT: Notice that the ‘equals’ sign is used in two different ways. If you just type a=b, you
have created an equation object that you can use in later manipulations (e.g. solve it!). On the other
