I want to create a function handle to the function:

f = @(x) (x-1)*(x-2)*...*(x-50);

How can I do this in MATLAB without typing all 50 terms?

    Here is a vectorized solution:

    y = prod((x-[1:50]))
    

    Or if you want an anonymous function:

    f = @(x) ( prod((x-[1:50])) )
    

    By the way, it might not be faster than @Chris solution (which is good, and I upvoted it), because of Matlab JIT-Accelerator.
