# scipy.integrate.quadrature

`scipy.integrate.``quadrature`(func, a, b, args=(), tol=1.4899999999999999e-08, rtol=1.4899999999999999e-08, maxiter=50, vec_func=True)

  Compute a definite integral using fixed-tolerance Gaussian quadrature.

  Integrate func from a to b using Gaussian quadrature with absolute tolerance tol.

  Parameters : | func : function A Python function or method to integrate. a : float Lower limit of integration. b : float Upper limit of integration. args : tuple, optional Extra arguments to pass to function. tol, rol : float, optional Iteration stops when error between last two iterates is less than tol OR the relative change is less than rtol. maxiter : int, optional Maximum number of iterations. vec_func : bool, optional True or False if func handles arrays as arguments (is a “vector” function). Default is True.
  Returns : | val : float Gaussian quadrature approximation (within tolerance) to integral. err : float Difference between last two estimates of the integral.
