Adding a folder to the MATLAB path

Good morning everyone. Every time i try to use "syms", matlab returns an error saying "syms" is not found in the current path, but can be added to it. I do what matlab suggests and it all works. However, this "adding syms to the current path" lasts only for the current section. Anytime I close matlab I have to do it again. Is there anyway to add "syms" to the current folder on start up?

syms should be on the path by default. It seems like you have messed up the MATLAB paths. You can try to restore them by running this command: https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/restoredefaultpath.html

I think I have indeed messed up with MATLAB paths, a few times ago I installed Maple and set up the symbolic toolbox to work with Maple instead of matlab. Then I unistalled Maple. I think this is the cause of my problem. Your solution does indeed work, but only in the current session. Every time I close and re-open MATLAB I have to execute that command again.

It Worked! Thanks a lot

Matteo, no need to flag the answer. A flag is usually used to indicate something negative, like a violation of community guidelines. Just commenting that the solution worked for you enough. I removed the flag, considering that you accidentally flagged the answer.

I'm sorry, I'm kind of a newbie on this forum and on matlab itself. Let me know if there's anything more i should do. Best regards

No problem. Accepting an answer is enough. I am glad to be of help.
