# scipy.integrate.ode

class `scipy.integrate.``ode`(f, jac=None)

  A generic interface class to numeric integrators.

  See also

  `odeint`
    an integrator with a simpler interface based on lsoda from ODEPACK
  `quad`
    for finding the area under a curve

  Examples

  A problem to integrate and the corresponding jacobian:

      >>> from scipy import eye
      >>> from scipy.integrate import ode
      >>>
      >>> y0, t0 = [1.0j, 2.0], 0
      >>>
      >>> def f(t, y, arg1):
      >>>     return [1j*arg1*y[0] + y[1], -arg1*y[1]**2]
      >>> def jac(t, y, arg1):
      >>>     return [[1j*arg1, 1], [0, -arg1*2*y[1]]]

  The integration:

      >>> r = ode(f, jac).set_integrator('zvode', method='bdf', with_jacobian=True)
      >>> r.set_initial_value(y0, t0).set_f_params(2.0).set_jac_params(2.0)
      >>> t1 = 10
      >>> dt = 1
      >>> while r.successful() and r.t < t1:
      >>>     r.integrate(r.t+dt)
      >>>     print r.t, r.y
