Numerical Integration with scipy.integrate
Numerical integration allows you to compute the area under curves and solve equations that do not have analytical solutions. In scientific computing, you often encounter the need to evaluate definite integrals or solve ordinary differential equations (ODEs) where exact solutions are either unknown or too complex to obtain. The scipy.integrate module in SciPy provides powerful and easy-to-use tools for these tasks, making it possible to perform integration and solve ODEs numerically using just a few lines of python code.

When you use scipy.integrate.quad, the function returns both the computed value of the integral and an estimate of the error. In the example above, integrating sin(x) from 0 to π gives a result very close to 2, which matches the exact analytical result. This demonstrates both the accuracy and reliability of the numerical integration routine.
For ordinary differential equations, scipy.integrate.solve_ivp computes the solution over a specified interval. In the ODE example, the equation dy/dt = -2y with the initial condition y(0) = 1 describes exponential decay. The solution shows how y decreases smoothly over time, and you can visualize this with a simple plot. The output matches the expected analytical solution y(t) = exp(-2t).
