NUMPY FOUNDATIONS
Learn NumPy—the backbone of numerical computation in Python—to perform fast, vectorized operations on data.
Module Content
NumPy vs Python Lists
Understand the difference between Python lists and NumPy arrays, and why NumPy is essential for data analysis.
NumPy Basics
Learn how to create, index, slice, and manipulate NumPy arrays for fast numerical operations.
QUIZ: Numpy Basics
NumPy Broadcasting
Discover how broadcasting allows you to perform operations on arrays of different shapes efficiently.
NumPy Aggregations
Learn aggregation operations like sum, mean, min, max, and how to apply them along different axes.
NumPy Vectorization, Boolean Masks & Statistical Aggregations
Master the 2D axis mental model (axis=0 vs axis=1), NaN-safe statistical aggregations, boolean masking, cumulative sums, and percentiles.
QUIZ: Numpy Foundations
ASSIGNMENT: NumPy Foundations
Create a Jupyter Notebook demonstrating core NumPy operations. Your submission should include: creating arrays from lists and using arange/linspace, reshaping and indexing arrays, element-wise operations and broadcasting, and statistical aggregations (mean, std, min, max, sum along axes). Use markdown cells to explain what each code cell does.
