I am trying to calculate the definite integral of a function with multiple variables over just one variable in scipy. This is kind of like what my code looks like-
from scipy.integrate import quad
import numpy as np
def integrand(x,y):
return x*np.exp(x/y)
quad(integrand, 1,2, args=())
And it returns this type error:
TypeError: integrand() takes exactly 2 arguments (1 given)
However, it works if I put a number into args. But I don't want to, because I want y to remain as y and not a number. Does anyone know how this can be done?
EDIT: Sorry, don't think I was clear. I want the end result to be a function of y, with y still being a symbol.
Thanks to mdurant, here's what works:
from sympy import integrate, Symbol, exp
from sympy.abc import x
y=Symbol('y')
f=x*exp(x/y)
integrate(f, (x, 1, 2))
Answer:
-(-y**2 + y)*exp(1/y) + (-y**2 + 2*y)*exp(2/y)
