Shortcuts for symbols not recognized

Hi,

I want to use expressions like \theta , a^2 , \sigma\hat , u_cp etc. but Matlab seems to not recognize them and display them as I write. Could you help me?

It depends on how and where you want to use them. To use them in plots, use the text function, and particularly see the section on Interpreter.

To use the Live Editor, in the MATLAB Home tab, click on New Live Script.

I want to use them in plot, table etc. I found on the web it isn't required a function. I should just write '\(name of the greek symbol)' to write the symbol but than matlab leave \theta for example. Can it be a problem of setting?

To use them in plots, use the text function I linked to. I do not believe you can use them in MATLAB table arrays as variable names or row names.
