Summary


In this chapter, we installed NumPy and other recommended software that we will be using in some sections of this book. We got a vector addition program working and convinced ourselves that NumPy has superior performance. You were introduced to the IPython interactive shell. In addition, you explored the available NumPy documentation and online resources.

In the next chapter, you will take a look under the hood and explore some fundamental concepts including arrays and data types.
