2d polar integration

The 2d polar integral of a scalar function $f(r, \theta)$ is defined as:

$$ I(r_{max}) = \int_0^{r_{max}} \int_0^{2\pi} f(r, \theta) r d\theta $$

Write a function integrate_polar(f, rmax) that performs this integral numerically using scipy.integrate.dblquad.

def integrate_polar(f, rmax):
    """Integrate the function f(r, theta) over r=[0,rmax], theta=[0,2*np.pi]"""
    # YOUR CODE HERE
    #raise NotImplementedError()
    integrand = lambda r,t : r * f(r,t)
    
    rmin = lambda y: 0.0
    r_max = lambda y: rmax
    
    I, err = integrate.dblquad(integrand, 0.0, 2 * np.pi, rmin, r_max)
    return I
