Maple Symbolic Toolbox problem

I am using Matlab R2010a, student version.

I followed the online documentation to define a symbolic function on the symbolic variables x and y and got this:

EDU>> syms x y
EDU>> f(x,y)=x^2*y^6
??? Error using ==> sym.subsasgn at 59
Error using ==> maplemex
Error, (in MTM:-subsasgn) unsupported type of index, x

I recently installed Maple 16 and I see in my workspace the name "toolbox_version" with the value 'maple'.

Probably I selected some kind of integration of Maple and Matlab when I installed Maple. Is there an easy way to undo this?

Thanks!

The documentation you are looking at that uses that syntax to define a function, is documentation for R2012a and later only. It is not supported in your R2010a.

Try

f = evalin(symengine, '(x,y) -> x^2*y^6')

I have the same problem with my R2016a version. what should i do for this problem? i have completely the same conditions as the question above.

The Maple toolbox does not support f(x,y)=x^2*y^6 format for defining functions.
