Re: Uniform partition of an interval

[Francesco Potorti`]

address@hidden:
   What is the MAIN reason that 1.8:0.05:1.9 produces [1.8000 1.8500]
   and not [1.8000 1.8500 1.9000]? 

Finite precision of the machine's number representation.

When using floating point numbers, you should use linspace, as in

 linspace(1.8,1.9,3)
