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. + +Besides its obvious scientific uses, NumPy can also be used as an +efficient multi-dimensional container of generic data. Arbitrary +data-types can be defined. This allows NumPy to seamlessly and +quickly integrate with a wide-variety of databases. |
