 table of elements (usually numbers), all of the same type, indexed by a
 tuple of non-negative integers. In NumPy dimensions are called *axes*.
 
-For example, the coordinates of a point in 3D space ``[1, 2, 1]`` has
-one axis. That axis has 3 elements in it, so we say it has a length
-of 3. In the example pictured below, the array has 2 axes. The first
