I think the following code fullfil your wish... 

n = 0 : 1 : 20 ; // series in the expansion B = 1.5 ; //beta factor Tm = 1300 * 
274.15 ; //base-lithosphere temperature [C] tau = 62.8 ; //lithosphere cooling 
thermal decay constant [Ma] a = 125000 ; //equilibrium lithospheric thickness 
[m] alpha = 3.28e-5 ; //thermal expansion coefficient K^-1 // Tm needs to be 
converted to Kelvin - multiply by 274.15 rho = 3300 ; t = 0 : 5 : 150 ; 
//lithosphere age [Ma] G = 6.67e-11 ; // LTGA with increasing age of oceanic 
lithosphere c = 8 * G * alpha * rho * a * Tm / %pi ; m = ( 0 : 20 ) ' ; m1 = 2 
* m + 1 ; g = c * sum ( ( B ./ ( m1 .^ 3 * %pi ) .* sin ( m1 * %pi / B ) ) * 
ones ( t ) .* exp ( - ( m1 .^ 2 * t / tau ) ) , 1 ) ; clf ; plot ( t , g )
