Introduction to NumPy
08-29, 13:30–15:00 (Europe/Zurich), HS 118

This tutorial will provide an introduction to the NumPy library intended for beginners.

NumPy is the fundamental package for scientific computing in Python. It is a Python library that provides a multidimensional array object, various derived objects (such as masked arrays and matrices), and an assortment of routines for fast operations on arrays, including mathematical, logical, shape manipulation, sorting, selecting, I/O, discrete Fourier transforms, basic linear algebra, basic statistical operations, random simulation and much more.

This tutorial will notably introduce the following aspects:

  • n-dimensional arrays (ndarray)
  • indexing of ndarray
  • operations on ndarray
