NumPy adds a fast and sophisticated array facility to the Python language and is the fundamental package needed for scientific computing with Python.
The NumPy 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.
· tools for integrating C/C++ code.
Users of num array can also transition their code using the numpy.numarray compatibility layer and a similar module (numpy.numarray.alter_code1).
NOTE: NumPy is licensed and distributed under the terms of an OSI-Approved Open Source License.
Requirements:
· Python 2.5 or later
