TypeError: 'float' object is not callable

The problem is with -3.7(prof[x]), which looks like a function call (note the parens). Just use a * like this -3.7*prof[x].


There is an operator missing, likely a *:

-3.7 need_something_here (prof[x])

The "is not callable" occurs because the parenthesis -- and lack of operator which would have switched the parenthesis into precedence operators -- make Python try to call the result of -3.7 (a float) as a function, which is not allowed.

The parenthesis are also not needed in this case, the following may be sufficient/correct:

-3.7 * prof[x]

As Legolas points out, there are other things which may need to be addressed:

2.25 * (1 - math.pow(math.e, (-3.7(prof[x])/2.25))) * (math.e, (0/2.25)))
                                  ^-- op missing
                                                    extra parenthesis --^
               valid but questionable float*tuple --^
                                     expression yields 0.0 always --^

You have forgotten a * between -3.7 and (prof[x]).

Thus:

for x in range(len(prof)):
    PB = 2.25 * (1 - math.pow(math.e, (-3.7 * (prof[x])/2.25))) * (math.e, (0/2.25)))

Also, there seems to be missing an ( as I count 6 times ( and 7 times ), and I think (math.e, (0/2.25)) is missing a function call (probably math.pow, but thats just a wild guess).
