"syms", "sym", and "mupad" functions cause MATLAB to freeze

1 view (last 30 days)
Why does MATLAB hang when I try to use the "syms", "sym""syms", "sym", or "mupad" functions?
It causes MATLAB to run indefinitely, the system freezes and memory usage increases.
Sometimes errors also appear:
Error using mupadmex
Internal error with symbolic engine. Quit and restart MATLAB.
Error in symengine
Error in sym (line 185)
symengine;
