NumPy By Example
NumPy By Example
A Beginner's Guide to Learning NumPy
About the Book
The material is suitable for the NumPy beginner, although some basic programming knowledge -- preferably Python -- is assumed. It's also assumed you have at least a rudimentary understanding of running shell commands from a terminal on your system of choice. Many courses, especially in data science, have modules or bridging lessons for learning NumPy as a pre-requisite. This book would certainly be suitable as support material for this kind of introductory course.
