Solving a very basic interpolation problem with MATLAB (interp1)

In this problem we solve a simple 1-D interpolation problem with MATLAB using interp1. Specifically, we are provided tabulated data for R (resistance) vs T (temperature), and asked for find the temperature where we measure a given value of resistance.

This is Exercise 12.1 from my text "Introduction to Chemical Engineering Computation with MATLAB."
