Essential NumPy Guide

NumPy is a fundamental library for scientific computing. It provides high-performance multidimensional array objects and tools for manipulating these arrays.

The core of NumPy is the ndarray object, which is a multidimensional array capable of efficiently storing and operating on large amounts of homogeneous data. The ndarray provides many methods for array operations, making numerical computations more efficient and concise. It uses contiguous memory blocks for data storage and implements many operations in C for optimized performance when handling large-scale data.
