of an array.
+``numpy.einsum`` : Evaluate the Einstein summation convention. Using the
+Einstein summation convention, many common multi-dimensional array operations
+can be represented in a simple fashion. This function provides a way compute
+such summations. The best way to understand this function is to try the

+Changes and improvements in the numpy core
+------------------------------------------

+
+
+
+``numpy.distutils``
+-------------------
+
+Several new compilers are supported for building Numpy: the Portland Group
+Fortran compiler on OS X, the PathScale compiler suite and the 64-bit Intel C
+compiler on Linux.
+
+
+``numpy.testing``
+-----------------
+
+The testing framework gained ``numpy.testing.assert_allclose``, which provides
+a more convenient way to compare floating point arrays than
+`assert_almost_equal`, `assert_approx_equal` and `assert_array_almost_equal`.
