Thanks, Walter. I've never used it. Is it fairly easy to use?

syms x y rho ux uy real
syms sx sx positive
syms pi
assume(-1 <= rho & rho <= 1)
f = 1/(2*pi*sx*sy*sqrt(1-rho^2)) * exp(-1/(2*(1-rho^2))*((x-ux)^2/sx^2 + (y-uy)^2/sy^2 - 2*rho*(x-ux)*(y-uy)/(sx*sy)))
pretty(f)
result = int(f,x,-inf,inf)
