Numpy Arrays and Python Notebooks

Logistics

• Submission instructions: you do not need to submit this reading.

Key ideas

About Numpy:

• NumPy is Python library written in C to provide fast numerical methods for scientific computation.
• NumPy enables Python users to use a data structure called an array. You can conceptualize an array as an efficient implementation of a list.

About Python notebooks:

• Python notebooks include code cells and text cells.
• They are useful for exploring data and for sharing your code with others.

Reading

• Read through the Numpy Tutorial and do the Tasks.
• In order to run the code cells, you should make a copy of the notebook (see the Intro to Python notebooks video).
