How to create a function handle for thermodynamics(semi-infinite heat conduction) using erfc with multiple variables?

%So my initial guess would be to create arrays or vectors for t, x, and alpha and try to pass those values through function handle something like :
thetafh = @(x,t,alpha) erfc(x/sqrt(4*alpha*t))
This is part of my final and any help is greatly appreciated please and thank you.

Use ./ instead of / in your definition of thetafh.
But you are asked to write a function, not a function handle.

I wonder why you sum up the theta values.
A call to your function handle with t(i) already gives you the dimensionless temperature.
The fact that you get dimensionless temperatures that exceed the value of 1 show that your summation must be wrong.
