Re: Setting up Equations...

Octave does not currently support symbolic manipulation; that's a
fairly major project remaining for the octave community to contribute.

One could attempt a crude implementation using, e.g.,

    f_x = "3*x^2 + 2*x"
    ...
    eval(f_x)

but that's a far cry from MATLAB's incorporation of maple into
their interpreter.
