Univariate and Multivariate Calculus
Univariate and Multivariate Calculus Christian Thieme 11/16/2020 1. Use integration by substitution to solve the integral below: \(\int { 4{ e }^{ -7x }dx }\) We’ll do this substitution with sympy, which is a python package. To use python, we’ll need to load the reticulate package: library(reticulate) use_python("C:/Users/chris/anaconda3/",...
