NumPy Python | Installation & Introduction

NumPy stands for Numeric Python and is a library that can be used for scientific computing. A fundamental part of the NumPy library is the array object capable of holding elements in multidimensions and performing element wise calculations over the whole array. In addition, the library includes tools for linear algebra such as matrix and vector products, and matrix solving and inverting functions. Because of these features unique to the library, NumPy has become an essential tool for scientific computing.
