I've set up the following two files to run an electrical potential problem and one of the variables that I'm using involves using a bvp4c boundary conditions. I have attached my project sheet for a little background on the problem.
If someone could show me why its incorrect and what I can do to repair it, I would greatly appreciate it. I'm sure that if and when it is corrected there may be other errors that arise but I guess I'll get to fixin' when that time comes.

As the error message says, you are using variable ya in function MAE340_P1 on line 14:
Hs = c10*exp((-F*ya(2)/R*T));
and it is defined nowhere before this line. The only place where you seem to define such a variable, is as a first input parameter of function bvp4bc.
