does it compute it numerically?
Use "matlabFunction" or "subs" on the result to evaluate the derivatives numerically:
help matlabFunction
help subs

you mean after i use diff command, i have to use matlabFunction ? can you please provide me with an example or clarify your point? Thank you
syms x
f = x^2;
df = diff(f,x);
hf = matlabFunction(df);
hf(2)
