# scipy.special.roots_sh_legendre

`scipy.special.``roots_sh_legendre`(n, mu=False)

  Gauss-Legendre (shifted) quadrature.

  Computes the sample points and weights for Gauss-Legendre quadrature. The sample points are the roots of the n-th degree shifted Legendre polynomial \(P^*_n(x)\). These sample points and weights correctly integrate polynomials of degree \(2n - 1\) or less over the interval \([0, 1]\) with weight function \(f(x) = 1.0\).

  Parameters: | n : int quadrature order mu : bool, optional If True, return the sum of the weights, optional.
  Returns: | x : ndarray Sample points w : ndarray Weights mu : float Sum of the weights
