vectorize(s) 
function v = vectorize(s)
%VECTORIZE Vectorize expression.
%   VECTORIZE(S), when S is a string expression, inserts a '.' before
%   any '^', '*' or '/' in S.  The result is a character string.
%
%   VECTORIZE(FUN), when FUN is an INLINE function object, vectorizes the
%   formula for FUN.  The result is the vectorized version of the INLINE
%   function.
