The fundamental package needed for scientific computing with Python is
|
||
|
|
called NumPy. This package contains:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* a powerful N-dimensional array object
|
||
|
|
* sophisticated (broadcasting) functions
|
||
|
|
* basic linear algebra functions
|
||
|
|
* basic Fourier transforms
|
||
|
|
* sophisticated random number capabilities
|
||
|
|
* tools for integrating Fortran code.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
NumPy derives from the old Numeric code base and can be used as a
|
||
|
|
replacement for Numeric. It also adds the features introduced by numarray
|
||
|
|
and can also be used to replace numarray.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Note: Development for Numeric has ceased, and users should transisition to
|
||
|
|
NumPy as quickly as possible.
