Using the Symbolic Package

[Thomas D. Dean]

I downloaded symbolic-1.0.8.tar.gz.  'Pkg install symbolic-1.0.8.tar.gz'
completed successfully.

# help sym2poly
...     Example:
          symbols
          x=sym("x"); y=sym("y");
          c = sym2poly (x^2+3*x-4);    # c = [1,3,-4]
          c = sym2poly (x^2+y*x,x);    # c = list(2,y,0)
...

# symbols
error: `symbols' undefined near line 40 column 1

#help symbols
