All integrals are done use `scipy.integrate.quad`.
Users of the `~halotools.mock_observables.delta_sigma` function should be aware that
the current halotools implementation is only one method of calculation for gg-lensing.
One alternative would be to do the entire calculation fully in 2d, using the entire
simulation z-axis as the line of sight (this is the approach taken in
Hearin et al. 2013, http://arxiv.org/abs/1310.6747). Determing the optimal
calculation method for :math:`\Delta\Sigma` is a subject of ongoing research,
so if you want to use this function for your own science application, be sure
to read the source code implementation and test that the implementation is
sufficient for your needs.

For demonstration purposes we will calculate `delta_sigma` using the
