MATLAB gurus?

Does anyone know where I can download an m file that will allow me to input E, I, L, and the loads on a beam and it will spit out the deflection? Or, something that will solve 3 piecewise second order diff equations? Matlab is preferred, since i hate mathematica.

Thanks!

I assume: E = Young's Modulus, I = Moment of Inertia, L = Length

I remember using Maple instead of Matlab in my college days. But d@mn, you should do your own work if you want to learn. Master the matrices.

Preaching to the choir. It's been too long since I've taken a numerical methods class, I want to be able to hand something in by the end of the week. My job isn't really to do this sort of thing, so chill.
