If you're a student the student version comes with the Symbolic toolbox and one or two other toolboxes. You'll know you have the student edition if the K>> instead says EDU>> for input prompts.

You don't have the Symbolic Math Toolbox™ installed.

Execute this:

ver

and see if the Symbolic Math Toolbox™ is on the list

The symbolic Matj Toolbox is not on the list. What can I do next ?

[Paulo Silva]

Check the installation disk if that toolbox is there and you have the license for it (if you are lucky just install it), if not the only solution is to buy the latest MATLAB version and Symbolic Math Toolbox™.
