Simple question
I.e I have variable N=Np/Ns. I;ve defined values for Np and Ns (which I may want to change later) but for my latter euqations I want to put simply only N, insteed of typing Np/Ns. How to define N in that way when I pun N in some equation it will pass Np/Ns.
I've tried simply N = 'Np/Ns' , but when I checked it by typing F = N + 1, insteed of simply calculate F = Np/Ns + 1, the output is strange 8 element matix.

"the output is strange 8 element matix"
Not very strange: you created a character vector and then added one to every character code:
1+'Np/Ns'
If you want to perform numeric/symbolic operations, character vectors are unlikely to be the solution.

np=5;ns=3;
n=@(np,ns)np/ns;
f=n(np,ns)+1;
np=8;ns=5;
f=n(np,ns)^2+3;
