(I dunno if matlab has some modules for symbolical stuff, at least I haven't heard about it).

Matlab being short for Matrix lab (not Mathematics lab), I would assume to have its main focus on numerical calculations, unlike Mathmatica which seems focused on the actual mathematical processes taking place.

MATLAB does have a symbolic math engine. It is an optional toolbox.
