SciPy and Numpy: Open-Source Libraries for Scientific Computing

SciPy and NumPy are open-source Python libraries used for scientific computing and numerical analysis. SciPy provides algorithms and mathematical tools while NumPy adds support for large, multi-dimensional arrays and matrices.

What is SciPy & Numpy?

SciPy and NumPy are fundamental open-source Python libraries used in scientific computing, mathematical modeling, statistics, machine learning, and data analysis.

SciPy builds on top of NumPy and provides a variety of algorithms and mathematical tools to work with functions, integrals, statistics, linear algebra, optimization, interpolation, FFTs, signal and image processing, ODE solvers and more. It features highly optimized C, C++ and Fortran code for number crunching.

NumPy introduces the ndarray object for working with N-dimensional arrays efficiently and provides tools to work with these arrays like mathematical and logical operations on arrays. It also has builtin support for linear algebra, Fourier transforms and random number capabilities.

Together, SciPy and NumPy provide a robust environment for interactive computing, prototyping and analysis with Python. They are extremely popular in academia, research and commercial settings. SciPy and NumPy form part of the scientific Python stack which builds the foundation for libraries like Pandas, Matplotlib, Scikit-Learn, Tensorflow and more.
