			% Given nonnegative integer n, compute the
			% Hermite polynomial H_n. Return the result as a vector whose mth
			% element is the coefficient of x^(n+1-m).
			% polyval(HermitePoly(n),x) evaluates H_n(x).


			function hk = HermitePoly(n)
			% Evaluate the normalized Hermite polynomial.
			if n==0

			hkm2 = zeros(1,n+1);
			hkm2(n+1) = 1;
