Welcome to NumPy 🔢
NumPy arrays are 10-100x faster than Python lists for numerical computing. NumPy is the foundation of the entire data science ecosystem.
Why NumPy?
- Vectorized operations - Apply math to entire arrays instantly
- Memory efficient - Store millions of numbers compactly
- Broadcasting - Operations across different shapes
- Linear algebra - Matrix multiplication, eigenvalues, solving systems
- Random numbers - Simulations and statistical testing
Real-World Speed
Doubliing 1,000,000 numbers:
- Python list with loop: ~100ms
- NumPy array (vectorized): ~1ms
That's 100x faster!
