title: matlab - symbolic functions freezing on command window
body: <p>The following code freezes <code>R2020b</code> and <code>R2018b</code> in the command window with a clean workspace.</p>
  <pre><code>&gt;&gt; syms f(r, m)
  &gt;&gt; f(r, m) = r^(m) * (1-r)^(70000000-m)
   
  f(r, m) =
   
  r^m*(1 - r)^(70000000 - m)
   
  &gt;&gt; f(.001, 5000)
  </code></pre>
  <p>Am I using the wrong Matlab tool for this?</p>
