The SciPy ecosystem

The SciPy ecosystem is a collection of libraries for programming science, mathematics, and engineering functionalities. It has the following libraries as core components:

  • NumPy
  • SciPy
  • Matplotlib
  • IPython
  • SymPy
  • pandas

In this book, we will use all of these libraries except SymPy and pandas. In this section, we will have a look at the NumPy and Matplotlib libraries. We will learn the useful aspects of the other two libraries in the later chapters of this book.

The basics of NumPy

NumPy is a fundamental package that can be used for numerical computation with Python. It is a matrix library for linear algebra. NumPy ndarrays can also be used as an efficient multi-dimensional container of generic data. Arbitrary data types can also be defined and used. NumPy is an extension of the Python programming language. It adds support for large multi-dimensional arrays and matrices, along with a large library of high-level mathematical functions...
