NumPy is the fundamental package for scientific computing with Python
NumPy is an open-source add-on module to Python that provide common mathematical and numerical routines in pre-compiled, fast functions for manipulating large arrays and matrices of numeric data in a fast and efficient manner. These are growing into highly mature packages that provide functionality that meets, or perhaps exceeds, that associated with common commercial software like MatLab. NumPy seamlessly and speedily integrate with a wide variety of databases. It contains among other things
In many other python packages such as scikit-learn, NumPy array is the fundamental data structure. For more details, refer
