+% This is a template file for the first assignment to get started with running
+% and publishing code in Matlab.  Each problem has its own section (delineated
+% by |%%|) and can be run in isolation by clicking into the particular section
+% and pressing |Ctrl| + |Enter| (evaluate current section).
+%
+% To generate a pdf for submission in your current directory, use the following
+% three lines of code at the command window:
+%
+%  >> options.format = 'pdf'; options.outputDir = pwd; publish('midterm.m', options)
