If you're a scientist or an engineer interested in learning scientific computing, this is the place to start.

In this course, you'll learn to write your own useful code to perform impactful scientific computations. Along the way, your understanding will be tested with periodic quizzes and exercises.

Topics covered in this course include arrays, plotting, linear equations, symbolic computation, scientific algorithms, and random variables. You’ll also be exposed to popular Python packages like NumPy, Matplotlib, SciPy, and others. In the last part of the course, the application section will test your ability to recall and apply the tools you have studied into newly learned scientific concepts.

At the end of this course, you'll be equipped with the tools necessary for everyday scientific computation.

Python for Scientists and Engineers

The **NUM**erical **PY**thon package, commonly known as **NumPy**, provides a data structure called **arrays**. They allow
efficient vector and matrix operations. These arrays are of type `ndarray` from the `numpy` module.

These arrays : 
* are essential for plotting using `matplotlib`.
* are commonly used to solve systems of linear equations. 
* can be used to store an image in the form of an array.

NumPy arrays are the basis of all computations performed by the NumPy library. They are simple Python lists with a few additional properties. 

This lesson introduces you to n-dimensional arrays in NumPy.
