Introduction to python

• Python is an interpreted, high-level, general-purpose programming language.

Created by Guido van Rossum and first released in 1991
• Python was conceived in the late 1980s as a successor to the ABC language.
The stable Python 2.0, was released in 2000
• Python 3.0, released 2008, was a major revision of the language that is not
completely backward-compatible, and much Python 2 code does not run
unmodified on Python 3. Due to concern about the amount of code written for
Python 2, support for Python 2.7 (the last release in the 2.x series) was
extended to 2020
 Let’s get started with python
• Install Python 3.7
• Install Pycharm
• Do the first code

 Use of NumPy

• NumPy is a package in Python used for Scientific

Computing. NumPy package is used to perform different operations.
The ndarray (NumPy Array) is a multidimensional array used to store
values of same datatype. These arrays are indexed just like Sequences,
starts with zero
 Use of SciPy

• Numpy provides a high-performance multidimensional array and basic

tools to compute with and manipulate these arrays. 
SciPy builds on this, and provides a large number of functions that operate on
numpy arrays and are useful for different types of scientific and engineering applications.
