Mathematica Prompt user to enter mathematical function

[Ed Aboud]

Hi all,

I am trying to prompt the user to enter a mathematical function in matlab.

Any suggestions on how to do this?

I have looked at the inline functions but I am not sure how to code it.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

The MATLAB eval function will probably help you out here:
