Nx comes with a number of operations you can use and compose into complex mathematical operations and algorithms. There are four common types of operations you should get comfortable with first: shape and type operations, element-wise unary operations, element-wise binary operations, and reductions.

Shape and Type Operations

Shape and type operations work on the shape and type properties of a tensor. Run the following code in a Livebook cell to create a new tensor with shape {3} and type {:s, 64}:

 a = Nx.tensor([1, 2, 3])

Then, run the following code to cast the tensor to type {:f, 32} and change ...
