More matlab

Hey ya'll. I was wondering if there is a built-in matlab function or tool I can use to implicitly solve a non linear equation with just one variable.

It is this function (the fully integrated part):

I tried using the solve function in matlab, but this blew it up. I know everything but M.

Anybody have an idea?

edit: I guess what I'm looking for is a built-in function that matlab has that can approximate this M value for me. The scope of the project i am working on is well beyond just solving for M, so I would rather like to avoid writing my own numerical solver.

    Ah, compressible flow, how do I hate thee? Let me count the ways...

    Anyway, it sounds like you're looking for the fzero command.

    Method of characteristics ftw.

    Anyway, found a good quadratic approximation ..
