Good idea! I can help edit.
But first, the essential pattern here is:
1. Do a symbolic calculation (in this case, a derivative)
2. Evaluate that result for double values.
"subs" is not really the right tool for this. It makes symbolic
substitutions.
Perhaps the right pattern here is:
>> df = diff(...)
>> dfh = function_handle(df)
>> dfh(3.1415927)
Here "dfh" is a regular plain-old Octave anonymous function, can be
evaluated efficiently for doubles, etc.
Note: you can also write this as "dfh = matlabFunction(df)" for
compatibility with the Matlab Symbolic Toolbox.
There is some discussion about all this in
