Course description:
Study of MATLAB windows, script files, two-dimensional and threedimensional plots, creating array, functions and function files, programming
in MATLAB, applications in numerical analysis.
Course objectives:
The student is expected to get familiar with the instructions of MATLAB and
be able to write short programming and should learn to take advantage of
MATLAB in mathematical analysis, calculus, differential equations and
almost all subjection mathematics.

Q): Define h and k as scalars, h = 0.9, and k = 12.5, and x, y and z as
the vectors x = 1, 2, 3, 4, y = 0.9, 0.8, 0.7, 0.6, and z = 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4.
Then use these variables to calculate T using element-by-element calculations
for the vectors.

Solution:
>> h = 0.9; k = 12.5;
>> x = [1; 2; 3; 4]; y = [0.9; 0.8; 0.7; 0.6]; z = [2.5; 3; 3.5; 4];
>> T = (x.∗ y.∗ z./((h + k). ^k/5))+ (k ∗ exp(1). ^(z./x+ y)./ z. ^h)
