Suppose I have an expression that I want to symbolically differentiate using the Calculus package, and then create a function in Julia evaluating this expression at a given value of the variable x. For instance, using Calculus expression_F=“x^3” expression_f= differentiate(expression_F,:x) f(x)=…

[image] pdenapo: expression_F=“x^3” Note that this is a string and not an expression. julia> F(x)=eval(:(x->$expression_F)) As with any function, this means that when we execute F(x) we get the result of computing the function body. The function body is eval(:(x->$expression_F)) which is …
