This is something that Matlab really shines at with symbolic computation. Is there really not a numpy/scipy equivalent?

  Sympy[0] is the major Python package I go to for symbolic calculation, it’s been more than enough for what I’ve needed (except for a few shortcomings I found in higher dimensional symbolic geometry, but I’m not going to fault them for not having my own weird esoteric use cases covered) 0 - https://www.sympy.org/en/index.html https://www.sympy.org/en/index.html

  Mathematica as well.

  Matlab I thought use Maple for symbolic functionality, is that not the case?

    No, they moved to their own symbolic computation engine years ago.

      They bought mupad and integrated it if I remember correctly.

  Sage/Sympy is the the python library for symbolic computation

  How so? Every MATLAB code base I've seen rolls their own unit computation. The symbolic toolbox costs money and I've seen it on university installations only. The unitConvert command is rather new. Neither mechanisms are native to MATLAB and have awkward call patterns.
