-Contents:
+NumPy is the fundamental package needed for scientific computing with Python.  It contains among other things:
 
-.. toctree::
-   :maxdepth: 2
+- a powerful N-dimensional array object
+- sophisticated (broadcasting) functions
+- tools for integrating C/C++ and Fortran code
+- useful linear algebra, Fourier transform, and random number capabilities. 
 
-Indices and tables
-==================
+Besides its obvious scientific uses, NumPy can also be used as an efficient multi-dimensional container of generic data. Arbitrary data-types can be defined. This allows NumPy to seamlessly and speedily integrate with a wide variety of databases.
