SciPy (pronounced sigh pi) adds a layer to NumPy that wraps common scientific and statistical applications on top of the more purely mathematical constructs of NumPy. SciPy provides higher-level functions for manipulating and visualizing data, and it is especially useful when using Python interactively. SciPy is organized into sub-packages covering different scientific computing applications. A list of the packages most relevant to ML and their functions appear as follows:
