Learn how numpy accelerates numerical computations in Python by using arrays instead of lists, creating arrays of zeros, shaping arrays, and converting lists to numpy arrays.
Explore numpy dimensions and operations by building 1d, 2d, and 3d arrays, inspecting shapes, and applying comparison operators to generate boolean results.
Explore numpy arrays by examining element size, data type, and length. The lecture demonstrates using itemsize to confirm four-byte elements and compares array length with the size.
Learn how to use NumPy range arguments to generate sequences with start, stop, and step, including the default step of one and bracket notations for printing results.
Learn how to work with NumPy shapes and reshaping, create one-dimensional and two-dimensional arrays, inspect shapes, and use reshape and flatten to organize data into four-by-three structures.
Explore numpy slicing by using start, end, and step in zero-based indexing to select and print elements, from single indices to full arrays.
learn how to use numpy.linspace to generate evenly spaced numbers, such as five values from 1 to 3 or from 2 to 10, and compute the max, min, and sum.
Generate random numbers with numpy by printing integers from 0 to 50, floats from 0 to 1, and shaping arrays, then use random.choice to select from a list.
Learn numpy axes by building a table of rows and columns, using 1s for rules and 0s for columns, then sum across axes.
Explore numpy mathematical functions by calculating sums, square roots, standard deviation of arrays, stacking with vstack, and practicing elementwise operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
Learn numerical python to gain practical knowledge in how the NumPy package is used in scientific computing. NumPy is used by Data Scientists, used in the fields of machine learning, used in data visualization, used in data evaluation, and the likes with its high-level syntax. In this course, we would learn lots of different methods used in scientific computing, exploring the Numpy package with lots of exercises including handling or fixing some of the errors we might encounter, slicing, reshaping, converting a list to a NumPy array for fast processing. The course assumes you already have python3, Anaconda already installed and you're comfortable using Jupyter notebook. Also, some background understanding of python basics is okay. You'll have free -downloadable access to the course activities/ exercise from the first section of the course module. The jupyter notebook exercise file has been well commented on so you understand what we are trying to achieve with each line of code. This should help you practice on your own while watching the video. Also, more sessions will be added as they are being edited. *Python 3* is the version of python used in the lectures and Jupyter notebook is the IDE used in programming for the course. It should be noted that python and anaconda installations and downloads and setting up anaconda and python is not taught in this course.
