1.什么是numpy

NumPy系统是Python的一种开源的数值计算扩展。这种工具可用来存储和处理大型矩阵，比Python自身的嵌套列表（nested list structure)结构要高效的多（该结构也可以用来表示矩阵（matrix））。

包括：

1、一个强大的N维数组对象Array；

2、比较成熟的（广播）函数库；

3、用于整合C/C++和Fortran代码的工具包；

4、实用的线性代数、傅里叶变换和随机数生成函数。

numpy和稀疏矩阵运算包scipy配合使用更加方便。

2.搭建numpy环境

在安装python的环境下，用pip管理工具安装（没有安装pip应先安装pip）：

安装pip：sudo apt-get install pip

安装numpy：sudo pip install numpy

安装scipy：sudo pip install scipy

安装matplotlib：sudo pip install matplotlib

3.如何学习

进入python安装包目录

查看安装的numpy包下的__ini__.py文件

NumPy

Provides

1. An array object of arbitrary homogeneous items
2. Fast mathematical operations over arrays
3. Linear Algebra, Fourier Transforms, Random Number Generation

How to use the documentation

Documentation is available in two forms: docstrings provided
with the code, and a loose standing reference guide, available from
`the NumPy homepage http://www.scipy.org`_.

We recommend exploring the docstrings using
`IPython http://ipython.scipy.org`_, an advanced Python shell with
TAB-completion and introspection capabilities. See below for further
instructions.

The docstring examples assume that `numpy` has been imported as `np`::

import numpy as np

Code snippets are indicated by three greater-than signs::

x = 42
x = x + 1

Use the built-in ``help`` function to view a function's docstring::

help(np.sort)
… # doctest: +SKIP

For some objects, ``np.info(obj)`` may provide additional help. This is
particularly true if you see the line "Help on ufunc object:" at the top
of the help() page. Ufuncs are implemented in C, not Python, for speed.
The native Python help() does not know how to view their help, but our
np.info() function does.

To search for documents containing a keyword, do::

np.lookfor('keyword')
… # doctest: +SKIP

General-purpose documents like a glossary and help on the basic concepts
of numpy are available under the ``doc`` sub-module::

from numpy import doc
help(doc)
… # doctest: +SKIP

Available subpackages

doc
Topical documentation on broadcasting, indexing, etc.
lib
Basic functions used by several sub-packages.
random
Core Random Tools
linalg
Core Linear Algebra Tools
fft
Core FFT routines
polynomial
Polynomial tools

Enhancements to distutils with support for
Fortran compilers support and more.

Utilities

test

show_config
Show numpy build configuration
dual
Overwrite certain functions with high-performance Scipy tools
matlib
Make everything matrices.
__version__
NumPy version string

Viewing documentation using IPython

Start IPython with the NumPy profile (``ipython -p numpy``), which will
import `numpy` under the alias `np`. Then, use the ``cpaste`` command to
paste examples into the shell. To see which functions are available in
`numpy`, type ``np.`` (where ```` refers to the TAB key), or use
``np.*cos*?`` (where ```` refers to the ENTER key) to narrow
down the list. To view the docstring for a function, use
``np.cos?`` (to view the docstring) and ``np.cos??`` (to view
the source code).

Copies vs. in-place operation

Most of the functions in `numpy` return a copy of the array argument
(e.g., `np.sort`). In-place versions of these functions are often
available as array methods, i.e. ``x = np.array([1,2,3]); x.sort()``.
Exceptions to this rule are documented.
