1. Introduction to NumPy in Python NumPy is a fundamental package for scientific computing in Python, enabling efficient and powerful numerical operations for a wide range of applications. by Озод Юсупов

2. What is NumPy? Core Scientific Computing NumPy is the cornerstone of scientific computing in Python, providing essential tools for numerical analysis, data manipulation, and more. Numerical Python The name "NumPy" is short for "Numerical Python," reflecting its focus on numerical computation and efficient data handling. Created in 2005 Developed by Travis Oliphant in 2005, NumPy has become a widely adopted and essential library within the Python ecosystem.

3. Why Use NumPy? 1 Significantly faster than Python lists, often achieving speed increases of 50 times or more for numerical computations. 2 Highly efficient for handling large-scale numerical operations, crucial for processing extensive datasets in data science and machine learning. 3 Essential for various applications in data science and machine learning, forming the foundation for many popular libraries and frameworks.

4. Key Features of NumPy ndarray NumPy's ndarray object provides a multi-dimensional array structure for representing and manipulating data in a structured and efficient way. Vectorized Operations NumPy allows for vectorized operations, enabling efficient computations across entire arrays without the need for explicit loops. Broadcasting Broadcasting capabilities automatically expand the dimensions of arrays during operations, simplifying complex calculations. C/C++ Integration NumPy offers tools for integrating C/C++ code, enabling faster execution for computationally intensive tasks.

5. Installing and Importing NumPy To install NumPy, use the following command in your terminal: pip install numpy Import NumPy using the standard convention: import numpy as np

6. NumPy Arrays vs Python Lists NumPy Arrays Homogeneous data types Fixed size at creation Contiguous memory allocation Python Lists Heterogeneous data types Dynamic size Scattered memory allocation

7. Creating NumPy Arrays From Python lists: np.array([1, 2, 3]) Using NumPy functions: np.zeros() np.ones() np.arange()

8. Array Indexing and Slicing Basic Indexing Access individual elements using their index: arr, arr[-1] Slicing Extract a range of elements: arr[1:5], arr[::2] Boolean Indexing Select elements based on conditions: arr[arr > 5]

9. Array Reshaping and Manipulation Reshaping Change the array's shape using np.reshape() 1 Flattening Transform a multi-dimensional array into a 1D array using np.flatten() or np.ravel() 2 Stacking Combine multiple arrays vertically or horizontally using np.vstack() or np.hstack() 3

10. Basic Array Operations Element-wise Operations Perform arithmetic operations on corresponding elements: +, -, *, / Matrix Multiplication Multiply matrices using np.dot() or the @ operator Aggregation Calculate sums, means, maximum values, etc., using functions like np.sum(), np.mean(), np.max()

11. Broadcasting in NumPy 1 Broadcasting Rules Determine how arrays are expanded to match dimensions for compatible operations. 2 Broadcasting Operations Demonstrate examples of broadcasting operations, illustrating the automatic expansion of arrays. 3 Memory Efficiency Highlight the advantages of broadcasting in terms of memory efficiency and reduced resource usage.

12. Universal Functions (ufuncs) 1 Element-wise Functions Apply functions to each element individually: np.sqrt(), np.exp() 2 Trigonometric Functions Calculate trigonometric values: np.sin(), np.cos() 3 Comparison Functions Perform comparisons between elements: np.greater(), np.less()

13. Linear Algebra with NumPy Matrix Operations Perform basic matrix operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and inversion. Eigenvalues and Eigenvectors Calculate the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of a matrix, which are fundamental concepts in linear algebra. Solving Linear Equations Solve systems of linear equations using NumPy's linear algebra functions, enabling analysis and modeling.

14. Random Number Generation 1 np.random module NumPy's np.random module provides tools for generating random numbers and arrays. 2 Random Number Arrays Generate arrays filled with random numbers following various distributions. 3 Reproducibility Set random seeds for reproducibility, ensuring consistency in generated random numbers.

16. NumPy in Data Science

17. Performance Optimization 1 Employ vectorization techniques to minimize loops and leverage NumPy's efficient array operations. 2 Optimize memory management by choosing appropriate data types and considering memory usage during computations. 3 Utilize np.einsum() for complex operations involving summation and contraction across array indices, improving performance.

18. NumPy Best Practices Avoid loops when possible, leveraging NumPy's vectorized operations for speed. Choose appropriate data types for your arrays, considering memory usage and computational efficiency. Handle large datasets efficiently by using memory-efficient techniques and chunking data for processing.

19. Common Pitfalls and How to Avoid Them Mutable Default Arguments Be mindful of mutable default arguments, as they can lead to unexpected behavior. Copy vs View Operations Understand the difference between creating copies and views of arrays to avoid unintended modifications. Broadcasting Errors Address potential broadcasting errors by carefully considering array shapes and ensuring compatibility.
