SyntaxError: invalid syntax
really don't understand why i'm getting an error here as earlier in the code I did the same thing (with different variables). It even does it for the Delta part (hence why I put it as a comment to try an debug)

A parenthese is missing on the line 
C[j] = (0.01/(y[j]**2)
should be 
C[j] = (0.01/(y[j]**2))
But please format youe code with tags in the future

This is a very common thing you'll see, btw. If there's a SyntaxError, but the line it's complaining about looks fine, then the issue is almost always a missing parenthesis on the previous line.
