area\_under\_curve
==================

-  Python 2.7/3.5+ module to calculate riemann sum area under a curve
-  Supports

   -  simpson, trapezoid, and midpoint algorithms,
   -  n-degree single variable polynomials, including fractional exponents,
   -  variable step size

``USAGE = """ -p|--poly {DegreeN1:CoefficientM1, DegreeN2:CoefficientM2, ...}...``
``-l|--lower <lower_bound> -u|--upper <upper_bound> -s|--step <step>``
``-a|--algorithm <simpson | trapezoid | midpoint>``

-  This was just a fun experiment I did on a couple airplane rides and might not be suitable for
   production use.
-  Try a simple function you can integrate by hand easily, like ``f(x) = x^3`` from ``[0-10]``, and
   compare that to how accurate the midpoint, trapezoid, and simpson approximations are with various
   steps sizes.

-  Why not use numpy?  You probably should, but I wanted to do everything from scratch for fun.
examples:
---------

``python area_under_curve.py --polynomial {3:1} --lower 0 --upper 10 --step .1 --algorithm simpson``

or:

``import area_under_curve as auc``

``algorithm = auc.get_algorithm("simpson")``

``bounds = auc.Bounds(0, 10, .1)``

``polynomial = auc.Polynomial({3:1})``

``params = auc.Parameters(polynomial, bounds, algorithm)``

``AREA = auc.area_under_curve(params.polynomial, params.bounds, params.algorithm)``

``print(str(AREA))``

Also try out ``unit_test.py`` and ``demo.py``.
