Although MATLAB is intended primarily for numeric computing, an optional toolbox uses the MuPAD symbolic engine allowing access to symbolic computing abilities.A quick, albeit rough, solution that comes to mind is parsing the text output of the ver command. In addition to the MATLAB documentation which is mostly available on-line, we wouldMATLAB allows matrix manipulations, plotting of functions and data, implementation of algorithms, creation of user interfaces, and interfacing with programs written in other languages. This will bringHow would one check for installed MATLAB toolboxes in a script/function? (checking toolbox versions would also be good!) This could provide a quick and useful error message when someone attempts to run a script without a required toolbox.toolboxes for signal processing, symbolic computation, control theory, simulation, optimiza- tion, and several other elds of applied science and engineering.

Now I'll wait for a compiled version before testing it.
