NumPy is oneof the fundamental packages for scientific computing that allows data to be represented in dimensional arrays. This course covers the array operations you can undertake such as image manipulation, fancy indexing, and broadcasting. To take this Aspire course, you should be comfortable with how to create, index, and slice Numpy arrays, and apply aggregate and universal functions. Among the topics, you will learn about the several options available in NumPy to split arrays. You will learn how to use NumPy to work with digital images, which are multidimensional arrays. Next, you will observe how to manipulate a color image, perform slicing operations to view sections of the image, and use a SciPy package for image manipulation. You will learn how to use masks, an array of index values, to access multiple elements of an array simultaneously, referred to as Sansi indexing. Finally, this course covers broadcasting to perform operations between mismatched arrays.

  • compare deep copies of arrays with views and know when to use each of them
  • use fancy indexing with arrays using an index mask
  • use fancy indexing to analyze real-world data
  • apply boolean masks to access array elements which fulfil a specific condition
  • use structured arrays in order to store heterogeneous data
  • describe how operations can be performed between arrays of mismatched shapes using broadcasting
  • perform operations between arrays of mismatched shapes by applying broadcasting rules
