Basically:
The ideal gas law, Pv = RT, describes the behavior of many gases. When solved for v, the equation can be written

v=(RT)/P

Find the specific volume for air, for temperatures from 100 to 100K and for pressures 100 kPa to 1000 kPa. The value of R for air is 0.2870kJ/(kg K). In this formulation of the ideal gas law, R is different for every gas. There are other formulations in which R is a constant, and the molecular weight of the gas must be included in the calculation. You'll learn more about this equation in chemistry classes and thermodynamics classes. Your answer should be a two-dimensional matrix.

So this is what I tried.

>>t = 100:1:1000;
>>p = 100:1:1000;
>>R = 0.2870
>>[T, P] = meshgrid(t,p);
>>v= (R.*T)./P

but I don't get the two-dimensional matrix?
or am I just thinking wrong?
did I do it right?

if i copy and paste your code i get a 2-D matrix back
