This function is a modified form of original code (see below). I vectorized the code to make the code time efficient.

The function calculates the mean curvature of the input structured matrix data. The input are the coordinate matrices of x,y & z (as generated by meshgrid or similar functions).

The outputs are a matrix containing the mean curvature at each point and a scalar giving the surface average mean curvature (SAMC).

Mistake found by Anthony Beaucamp. Thanks for letting me know! File has been updated.
