Overview

This week, we wish to consider how data is handled in the python ecosystem.

This lab looks at python features and also at numpy, which is one of the core libraries in the python data ecosystem, because of its support for array-like objects.

This notebook describes some useful features and includes some exercises for the student.

Numpy

Many other modules, including the better-known pandas, build upon numpy.

This notebook describes some of its features.
