  <p>NumPy is the fundamental package needed for scientific computing with Python.
     It contains among other things:</p>
     <ul class="simple">
        <li>a powerful N-dimensional array object</li>
        <li>sophisticated (broadcasting) functions</li>
        <li>tools for integrating C/C++ and Fortran code</li>
        <li>useful linear algebra, Fourier transform, and random number capabilities.</li>
     </ul>
  <p>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.</p>
  <p>Numpy is licensed under the <a class="reference external" href="license.html">BSD license</a>,
     enabling reuse with few restrictions.</p>
