- function y = polyval(c,x)
- %POLYVAL Polynomial evaluation.
- % If V is a vector whose elements are the coefficients of a
- % polynomial, then POLYVAL(V,s) is the value of the
- % polynomial evaluated at s. If S is a matrix or vector,
- % the polynomial is evaluated at all points in S.
- % See POLYVALM for evaluation in a matrix sense.
