I don't understand.
If it's so easy to do in Mathmatica (sic), then why don't you use that
instead of Matlab?

Unless, of course, your "Modern Physics instructor" wants you to learn
Matlab, using this as an exercise.  If this is the case, then why are
you asking us?  You should do your own homework.
