Matlab function handle optimizing?

First, one small quibble: you're not computing 2*A 3 times. You're computing it twice and computing 2*A. ^5 once.

Note that power operators take precedence over multiplication operators . You could break it up as (2*A). *A.

^4 but you might not be saving yourself much work.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
