NumPy is a Python library that provides support for large, multi-dimensional arrays and
matrices, along with a wide range of high-performance mathematical functions to operate on
these arrays. It is often used in conjunction with other popular libraries like Pandas, Matplotlib,
and Scikit-learn to perform data analysis, machine learning, and visualization tasks.
NumPy Methods
NumPy provides a wide range of methods for performing various operations on arrays.
Here are some examples:
1. Basic Operations:
np.sum(): Calculate the sum of an array.
np.mean(): Calculate the mean of an array.
np.median() : Calculate the median of an array.
np.std(): Calculate the standard deviation of an array.
2. Indexing and Slicing:
my_array[0] : Access the first element of the array.
my_array[1:3] : Access the second and third elements of the array.
my_array[:, 1]: Access the second column of a 2D array.
3. Array Manipulation:
np.concatenate(): Concatenate two or more arrays.
np.reshape(): Reshape an array to a new shape.
np.transpose(): Transpose an array (swap rows and columns).
4. Mathematical Operations:
np.dot(): Perform matrix multiplication.
np.linalg.inv() : Calculate the inverse of a matrix.
np.linalg.det() : Calculate the determinant of a matrix.
Here is a comprehensive NumPy cheat sheet with many of its methods, along
with examples and explanations. This file covers various aspects of NumPy,
including array creation, basic operations, indexing and slicing, array
manipulation, mathematical operations, random number generation, and
more.
