Course Description
Explore Python's Data Science package: NumPy
Gain an introduction to Numpy and understand why this Python library is essential to all Python data scientists and analysts. Most importantly, learn more about Numpy arrays and how to create and change array shapes to suit your needs.Discover NumPy Arrays
NumPy is an essential Python library for data scientists and analysts. It offers a great alternative to Python lists, as they are more compact and allow faster access to reading and writing items, making them a more convenient and efficient option.In this Introduction to NumPy course, you'll become a master wrangler of NumPy's core object: arrays! Using New York City's tree census data, you'll create, sort, filter, and update arrays. You'll discover why NumPy is so efficient and use broadcasting and vectorization to make your NumPy code even faster.
Gain Confidence by Practicing on the Monet dataset
By the last chapter, you will use your newly acquired knowledge to perform array transformations. You will use image 3D arrays to alter a Claude Monet painting and understand why such array alterations are essential tools for machine learning.You will gain confidence in Numpy arrays and their different operations upon course completion. This course is part of the Data Scientist with Python track and is perfect for those seeking a Data Science certification with DataCamp.

Array Transformations
NumPy meets the art world in this final chapter as we use image data from a Monet masterpiece to explore how you can use to augment image data. You’ll use flipping and transposing functionality to quickly transform our masterpiece. Next, you’ll pull the Monet array apart, make changes, and reconstruct it using array stacking to see the results.
