Summary


In this chapter, we installed NumPy and other recommended software that we will be using in some tutorials. We got a vector addition program working and convinced ourselves that NumPy has superior performance. In addition, we explored the available NumPy documentation and online resources.

In the next chapter, we will take a look under the hood and explore some fundamental concepts, including arrays and data types.
