Guide to Numpy

This book only briefly outlines some of the infrastructure that surrounds the basic objects in NumPy to provide the additional functionality contained in the older Numeric package (i.e. LinearAlgebra, RandomArray, FFT). This infrastructure in NumPy includes basic linear algebra routines, Fourier transform capabilities, and random number generators. In addition, the f2py module is described in its own documentation, and so is only briefly mentioned in the second part of the book. There are also extensions to the standard Python distutils and testing frameworks included with NumPy that are useful in constructing your own packages built on top of NumPy. The central purpose of this book, however, is to describe and document the basic NumPy system that is available under the numpy namespace.
