Chapter 5: NumPy Fundamentals
Welcome to the third part of our journey through Data Analysis Foundations with Python! Now that you've got your Python environment set up and have grasped the basics of Python programming, it's time to dive into the specific libraries that make Python such a powerful tool for data analysis. The first library we will explore is NumPy, which stands for Numerical Python.
NumPy is one of the most fundamental libraries for numerical computations in Python. It provides support for large, multi-dimensional arrays and matrices, along with a vast collection of mathematical functions to operate on these data structures. Whether you are performing basic mathematical operations or dealing with complex linear algebra, NumPy ...
