Mar 14, 2011 at 10:00 comment added posdef @whuber: as far as I know, MATLAB is not symbolic. Perhaps you meant Maple?

Mar 13, 2011 at 18:14 comment added whuber Because $\lambda$ and $\mu$ are Lagrange multipliers, it's trivial to find derivatives with respect to them. How do you anticipate the functional form of $L$ changing so that the derivatives with respect to the $w_i$ -- which currently are dead simple to compute -- will become complicated? // Anyway, any symbolic mathematics program should be able to do the job well: MatLab, Mathematica, etc.
