Key Features
ndarray Structure
Work with fast, memory-efficient multi-dimensional arrays for numerical data.
Mathematical Functions
Access a wide range of vectorized math operations like sin, log, exp, and dot.
Linear Algebra
Solve systems, compute eigenvalues, and perform matrix decompositions.
Broadcasting & Vectorization
Apply operations across arrays without explicit loops for performance gains.
How It Works
Install & Import
Use `pip install numpy` and `import numpy as np` to get started.
Create Arrays
Use `np.array()`, `np.zeros()`, or `np.random.rand()` to initialize data.
Perform Operations
Use vectorized math functions, slicing, and broadcasting for fast computation.
Apply Linear Algebra
Use `np.linalg` for matrix multiplication, inversion, and decomposition.
Integrate with ML/DS
Use NumPy arrays as inputs for Pandas, Scikit-learn, TensorFlow, and more.
Code Example
# NumPy Matrix Multiplication Example
import numpy as np
A = np.array([[1, 2], [3, 4]])
B = np.array([[5, 6], [7, 8]])
result = np.dot(A, B)
print(result)Use Cases
ML Preprocessing
Normalize, scale, and transform features before model training.
Scientific Simulations
Run physics, chemistry, or engineering simulations with matrix math.
Statistical Analysis
Compute means, variances, correlations, and distributions efficiently.
Image & Signal Processing
Manipulate pixel arrays or time-series data for analysis and modeling.
