(will probably add more later today)Numerical Integration with Variable Limits in PythonAndrew Dotson2023-08-17 | Today we go over how to numerically integrate a function f(x,y,z;a) using Scipy, where x, y and z are variables to be integrated over, and a is parameter. We do this for 2 cases: 1) when the limits of integration are constant 2) when the limits are functions of x, and y, themselves.

We do this by imposing a static weak field metric, and see how this affects the geodesic equation. This will be one of many useful pieces of information we can use to argue what Einstein's Field Equations will be.
