Lesson objectives
1. Use the NumPy package

What is NumPy?
NumPy is the fundamental package needed
for scientific computing with Python. It
contains:
 a powerful N-dimensional array object
 basic linear algebra functions
 basic Fourier transforms
 sophisticated random number capabilities
 tools for integrating Fortran code
 tools for integrating C/C++ code

The ndarray data structure
NumPy adds a new data structure to
Python – the ndarray
An N-dimensional array is a
homogeneous collection of “items”
indexed using N integers
Defined by:
1. the shape of the array, and
2. the kind of item the array is composed of

5 Python Mini-Course: Lesson 21 6/11/09


Array shape
ndarrays are rectangular
The shape of the array is a tuple
of N integers (one for each
dimension)

6 Python Mini-Course: Lesson 21 6/11/09


Array item types
Every ndarray is a homogeneous
collection of exactly the same
data-type
every item takes up the same size
block of memory
each block of memory in the array
is interpreted in exactly the same
way

Example: creating an array

import numpy
a = array([[1,2,3],
[4,5,6],
[7,8,9]])
a.shape
a.dtype

10 Python Mini-Course: Lesson 21 6/11/09


Indexing arrays
Use a tuple to index multi-
dimensional arrays
Example:
a[1,2]

11 Python Mini-Course: Lesson 21 6/11/09


Slicing arrays
Slicing arrays is almost the same
as slicing lists, except you can
specify multiple dimensions

12 Python Mini-Course: Lesson 21 6/11/09


Examples: Slicing arrays

a[1]
a[1,:]
a[1,1:]
a[:1,1:]

13 Python Mini-Course: Lesson 21 6/11/09


Some ndarray methods
ndarray. tolist ()
The contents of self as a nested list
ndarray. copy ()
Return a copy of the array
ndarray. fill (scalar)
Fill an array with the scalar value

14 Python Mini-Course: Lesson 21 6/11/09


Some NumPy functions
abs() min()
add() max()
binomial() multipy()
cumprod() polyfit()
cumsum() randint()
floor() shuffle()
histogram() transpose()

15 Python Mini-Course: Lesson 21 6/11/09


Suggested exercise
Complete the desc_stat_calc.py
program
