Numerical Python (NumPy) is a software library for scientific computing with Python. It provides a multidimensional array object, various derived objects (such as masked arrays and matrices), and an assortment of routines for fast operations on arrays, including mathematical, logical, shape manipulation, sorting, selecting, I/O, discrete Fourier transforms, basic linear algebra, basic statistical operations, random simulation and much more. NumPy can also be used as an efficient multi-dimensional container of generic data.
