[T,Z]=rks4(F,a,b,Za, M)
function [T,Z]=rks4(F,a,b,Za, M)

%Input    - F is the system input as an M-file function
%            - a and b are the endpoints of the interval
%            - Za=[x(a) y(a)] the initial conditions
%            - M is the number of steps
%Output - T is the vector of steps
%            - Z=[x1(t) . . . xn(t)] where xk(t) is the approximation 
%                  to the kth dependent variable

% Call [T,Z]=rksr(@F,a,b,Za,M)
