vety good,fem analysis.

function x=quadspace(a,b,n)
%QUADSPACE  Quadratically spaced vector.
%   QUADSPACE(x1, x2) generates a row vector of 100 quadratically
%   linearly spaced points between x1 and x2.
%
%   QUADSPACE(x1, x2, N) generates N points between x1 and x2.
%   If N is negative the smallest space is at the enpoint x2,
%   otherwise it is at enpoint x1.
