Mastering NumPy for Data Science and Analysis A Complete Hands-On Guide to Fast Numerical Computing, Array Programming, and Real-World Data Projects Using Python.NumPy is the foundation of modern data science, powering libraries like Pandas, Matplotlib, and Scikit-learn. This book provides a comprehensive, hands-on journey from the basics of NumPy to advanced techniques — helping you build confidence in numerical computing, data manipulation, and efficient analysis using Python.
Each chapter is structured to move you from concepts → code → real-world application, ensuring a smooth learning curve for beginners and a depth of understanding for intermediate learners.
🔹 What You’ll Learn Inside
Chapter 1: Introduction to NumPy — why it’s essential, how it works, and how to set it up.
Chapter 2: Creating and manipulating arrays using functions like array(), arange(), linspace(), zeros(), and ones().
Chapter 3: Indexing, slicing, and iterating through arrays with practical selection and filtering techniques.
Chapter 4: Mathematical operations — from element-wise arithmetic to universal functions and statistical aggregations.
Chapter 6: Random number generation, shuffling, and simulation for testing and data modeling.
Chapter 7: Linear algebra with NumPy — matrix multiplication, dot products, determinants, and eigenvalues.
Chapter 8: Working with real-world data — loading, saving, cleaning, and preprocessing CSV datasets.
Chapter 9: Mini projects — normalization, recommendation matrix, image processing, and stock price simulation.
Why This Book Stands Out
Written for beginners to advanced learners — each topic builds progressively.
Filled with real-world, data-science-style examples using mini datasets.
Every concept is paired with explained code and output walkthroughs.
Ends with hands-on mini projects to reinforce learning and develop intuition.
Helps you connect NumPy concepts to broader data workflows (like Pandas and Matplotlib).
