Python is convenient and flexible, yet notably slower than other languages for raw computational speed. The Python ecosystem has compensated with tools that make crunching numbers at scale in Python ...

We can cast an ordinary python list as a NumPy one-dimensional array. We can also cast a python list of lists to a NumPy two-dimensional array. Usually we will build arrays by using NumPy's ...

Create an rng object with np.random.default_rng(), you can seed it for reproducible results. You can draw samples from probability distributions, including from the binomial and normal distributions.

An image consists of a rectangular array of pixels where each one is assigned a colour. For example, here is an image with 9 pixels, each pixel is assigned a specific colour. We can represent this ...

There is a phenomenon in the Python programming language that affects the efficiency of data representation and memory. I call it the "invisible line." This invisible line might seem innocuous at ...

But in many cases, it doesn’t have to be an either/or proposition. Properly optimized, Python applications can run with surprising speed—perhaps not as fast as Java or C, but fast enough for web ...

In 2005, Travis Oliphant was an information scientist working on medical and biological imaging at Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah, when he began work on NumPy, a library that has become a ...
