Python Libraries for Data Science

• introduces objects for multidimensional arrays


and matrices, as well as functions that allow to
easily perform advanced mathematical and

NumPy:
statistical operations on those objects
• provides vectorization of mathematical
operations on arrays and matrices which
significantly improves the performance
• many other python libraries are built on NumPy

Python Libraries for Data Science
• adds data structures and tools designed
to work with table-like data (similar to
Series and Data Frames in R)
Pandas: • provides tools for data manipulation:
reshaping, merging, sorting, slicing,
aggregation etc.
