NumPy | College Workshops - 5 Days
NumPy (Numerical Python) is a fundamental package for scientific computing in Python. It provides support for large, multi-dimensional arrays and matrices, along with a vast collection of high-level mathematical functions to operate on these arrays. NumPy is the foundation for many other Python data science and machine learning libraries, making it an essential tool for scientific computing and data analysis.
Features of NumPy
NumPy offers numerous powerful features that make it indispensable for scientific computing and data manipulation. Here are the key features:
- N-dimensional Arrays: Provides the ndarray object for efficient storage and operations on large multi-dimensional arrays.
- Broadcasting: Allows operations on arrays of different shapes and sizes through its broadcasting rules.
- Mathematical Operations: Extensive support for mathematical operations on arrays without explicit loops.
- Linear Algebra: Comprehensive tools for matrix operations and linear algebra computations.
- Array Manipulation: Functions for reshaping, splitting, and combining arrays.
