I want to start a new Open source project regarding natural math and Matlab, I am looking for an existing opensource math parser and display project that I can leverage.
Something with functionality like MathType Or Lyx that can render math expressions
I am looking to kick start my project from a code-base of such software
Any recommendations or suggestions may help me a great deal.
Thank you.
PS If you think there is a better way to achieve this I would like to hear it also.
The symbolic toolbox in MATLAB can output LaTeX code, which you can render by means of LaTeX itself or some alternatives such as MimeTeX.
s = sym('s');
latex(sqrt(s^3)); % will output '\sqrt{s^3}'
If you look around on the File Exchange, you can find lots of LaTeX-related MATLAB functions, e.g. TeX Editor
On the other hand, if that is not what you want: LyX also is open source, you could look for open-source Computer Algebra Software (CAS) such as Maxima. There is bound to be something that might do more or less what you want.
