Thread Subject: constructing a 3D array (using permute?)

I have some code as follows:

 a=rand(50,16)
 b=pi*a.^2

 f=1:100
 w=2*pi*f

 c=sqrt((w'.*b)/(pi))


This returns an error stating that the matrix dimensions
must agree as would be expected because w' is [100 1] and b
is [50 16].

My question is, how can I assemble a 3D array of size [100
16 50] to be stored as c, from w' and b?

I think permute is needed but can't get it to do what I want.
Hopefully you can help. Thanks.

  I believe you need to first use 'shiftdim' by -1 with b, producing a three-
dimensional array with a first dimension singleton. Then apply 'bsxfun' with
"@times" using this and w/pi.
