Nice! Since you’re diving into a full NumPy course, here’s a structured note in Markdown format (can be
converted to HTML, LaTeX, or PDF later if you want). It's beginner-friendly, organized, and useful as a cheat
sheet or study guide:

📊 NumPy Full Course Notes


🔧 What is NumPy?
NumPy is a Python library used for scientific computing.
Fundamental for many other libraries like pandas, scikit-learn, and TensorFlow.
Works with multi-dimensional arrays and provides powerful methods to operate on them.

⚡ Why Use NumPy Over Lists?


Feature Python Lists NumPy Arrays

Speed Slower Much faster

Memory Uses more memory Uses less memory

Type-checking Dynamic Fixed (int32, float64, etc.)

Memory layout Scattered Contiguous

NumPy arrays allow vectorized operations, utilize SIMD and cache better.

🛠 Array Initialization

import numpy as np

# 1D Array
a = np.array([1, 2, 3])

# 2D Array
b = np.array([[1.1, 2.2, 3.3], [4.4, 5.5, 6.6]])

# Zeros, Ones, Full


np.zeros((2, 3))
np.ones((3, 3), dtype='int32')
np.full((2, 2), 99)

# Identity Matrix
np.identity(3)

# Random Arrays
np.random.rand(4, 2) # Random floats (0 to 1)
np.random.randint(0, 10, (3, 3)) # Random integers

🔍 Array Properties

a.shape # (3,)
a.ndim # 1
a.dtype # int32, float64, etc.
a.size # Number of elements
a.itemsize # Bytes per element
a.nbytes # Total bytes

🔄 Reshape, Copy & Repeat

a.reshape(2, 3) # Change shape


np.repeat(a, 3, axis=0) # Repeat elements
a.copy() # Deep copy to avoid pointer issues

🔢 Indexing & Slicing

a[0, 1] # Element at row 0, column 1


a[:, 2] # All rows, column 2
a[1, 1:-1:2] # Fancy slicing
a[1:3, 2:5] # Submatrix

➕ Math Operations

a + 10
a * 2
a ** 2
np.sin(a)
np.sqrt(a)

🧮 Linear Algebra

a @ b # Matrix multiplication
np.matmul(a, b)
np.linalg.det(a) # Determinant

2/4
numpynotes.md 2025-05-16

np.linalg.inv(a) # Inverse
np.linalg.eig(a) # Eigenvalues

📊 Statistics

np.min(a)
np.max(a)
np.mean(a)
np.sum(a)
np.std(a)
np.var(a)

Use axis=0 for columns, axis=1 for rows.

📂 Load from File

data = np.genfromtxt("data.txt", delimiter=',')


data = data.astype(np.int32) # Convert type

🧠 Advanced Indexing

mask = a > 50
a[mask] # Filtered values

# Combining Conditions
a[(a > 50) & (a < 100)]

# Index with list


a[[0, 2, 4]]

📦 Stacking & Reorganizing

np.vstack([a, b]) # Vertical stack


np.hstack([a, b]) # Horizontal stack

🧪 Quizzes (Practice Time!)


Try slicing:
3/4
numpynotes.md 2025-05-16

Get submatrix: rows 1 to 2, columns 0 to 1


Select odd-indexed rows
Reverse columns using slicing

If you'd like this converted to HTML, LaTeX, or a downloadable PDF, just say the word and I’ll prep it! Also, we
can turn these into flashcards, mini-projects, or quizzes if you want to test your knowledge. Up for it? 😊
