NumPy is a Python library optimized for numerical computing. It bears close semblance with MATLAB and is equally as powerful when used in conjunction with other packages such as SciPy for various scientific functions, Matplotlib for visualization, and Pandas for data analysis. NumPy is short for numerical python.

NumPy’s core strength lies in its ability to create and manipulate n-dimensional arrays. This is particularly critical for building machine learning and deep learning models. Data is often represented in a matrix-like grid of rows and columns, ...
