Can use scipy.integrate.quad(f, a, b) to integrate f(x) from a to b. Limits could be infinite, e.g. quad(f, -inf, inf).

Can compute quantiles with np.quantile. For example, np.quantile(x, [0.25, 0.5, 0.75]) yields quartiles.

SciPy has optimized versions of Bessel functions of order 0 and 1. For example, j0(z) & j1(z) are faster versions of jn(0, z) & jn(1,z).
