Guide to NumPy: 2nd Edition

This is the second edition of Travis Oliphant's A Guide to NumPy originally published electronically in 2006. It is designed to be a reference that can be used by practitioners who are familiar with Python but want to learn more about NumPy and related tools. In this updated edition, new perspectives are shared as well as descriptions of new distributed processing tools in the ecosystem, and how Numba can be used to compile code using NumPy arrays. Travis Oliphant is the co-founder and CEO of Continuum Analytics. Continuum Analytics develops Anaconda, the leading modern open source analytics platform powered by Python. Travis, who is a passionate advocate of open source technology, has a Ph.D. from Mayo Clinic and B.S. and M.S. degrees in Mathematics and Electrical Engineering from Brigham Young University. Since 1997, he has worked extensively with Python for computational and data science. He was the primary creator of the NumPy package and founding contributor to the SciPy package. He was also a co-founder and past board member of NumFOCUS, a non-profit for reproducible and accessible science that supports the PyData stack. He also served on the board of the Python Software Foundation.

這是Travis Oliphant的《NumPy指南》的第二版，最初於2006年以電子形式出版。它旨在成為熟悉Python但想要更深入了解NumPy和相關工具的實踐者的參考資料。在這本更新的版本中，作者分享了新的觀點，並描述了生態系統中的新分散處理工具，以及如何使用Numba編譯使用NumPy數組的代碼。Travis Oliphant是Continuum Analytics的聯合創始人兼首席執行官。Continuum Analytics開發了Anaconda，這是一個由Python驅動的領先現代開源分析平台。Travis是開源技術的熱情倡導者，擁有Mayo Clinic的博士學位以及Brigham Young University的數學和電氣工程學士和碩士學位。自1997年以來，他一直在計算和數據科學領域廣泛使用Python。他是NumPy包的主要創建者和SciPy包的創始貢獻者。他還是NumFOCUS的聯合創始人和前董事會成員，NumFOCUS是一個支持可重現和可訪問科學的非營利組織，並支持PyData堆棧。他還曾在Python軟件基金會的董事會任職。
