scipy.integrate.fixed_quad#

scipy.integrate.fixed_quad(func, a, b, args=(), n=5)[source]#

Compute a definite integral using fixed-order Gaussian quadrature.

Integrate func from a to b using Gaussian quadrature of order n.

Parameters
funccallable

A Python function or method to integrate (must accept vector inputs). If integrating a vector-valued function, the returned array must have shape (..., len(x)).

afloat

Lower limit of integration.

bfloat

Upper limit of integration.

argstuple, optional

Extra arguments to pass to function, if any.

nint, optional

Order of quadrature integration. Default is 5.

Returns
valfloat

Gaussian quadrature approximation to the integral

noneNone

Statically returned value of None
