Trying to plot the surface and contour plot (surfc) of the temperature distribution of a 1x1 metal plate that goes from (0,0) to (1,1), while it's heated to 100 degrees C on the corner (1,1). THANK YOU!!

%% Declarations x = linspace(0,1); y = linspace(0,1);
[xG,yG] = meshgrid(x,y);
T = 100*(exp((-0.1)*((xG-1)^2)))*(exp((-0.3)*((yG-1)^2)));
%% Calculations
%% Plotting surfc(xG,yG,T)

@Snooping Poppet: it is not appreciated when you edit away the text of your question. Imagine if everyone did that, then this entire forum would be useless for anyone else as it would only consist of thousands of threads all reading "This post was taken down". Would you find that useful?
By deleting your question you unilaterally decided that Mischa Kim's volunteered time helping you shall not be useful to anyone else. Does Mischa Kim get a say in this decision? Do you think this is why we volunteers come here and write our advice and comments?

Brandon, use
x = linspace(0,1); y = linspace(0,1);
[xG,yG] = meshgrid(x,y);
T = 100*(exp((-0.1)*((xG-1).^2))).*(exp((-0.3)*((yG-1).^2)));
surfc(xG,yG,T)
Note the periods in front of the * and ^ operators in the equation for T. They are used for element-wise operations (e.g. multiplication).
