function [varargout]=lepoly(n,x)
  
% lepoly  Legendre polynomial of degree n
    % y=lepoly(n,x) is the Legendre polynomial
    % The degree should be a nonnegative integer 
    % The argument x should be on the closed interval [-1,1]; 
    % [dy,y]=lepoly(n,x) also returns the values of 1st-order 
    %  derivative of the Legendre polynomial stored in dy
