. Leibniz discovered that π can be approximated using the formula
π = 4 * ∑((-1)^k)/(2k+1)
(a) Write a MATLAB function pi_approx1(n) that returns the approximation of π using the first n terms of the Leibniz series above.

My take would be to " Write a matlab function ":
function p = LeibnizPi(n)
p = 0 ;
for k = 1:n
p = p + % fill in formula here ...
end
and call it from the command line like
>> LeibnizPi(4)
