Python basics with numpy

首先，了解IPython的使用方法：

What you need to remember:

• Run your cells using SHIFT+ENTER (or “Run cell”)
• Write code in the designated areas using Python 3 only
• Do not modify the code outside of the designated areas

1. Building basic functions with numpy

• To refer to a function belonging to a specific package you could call it using package_name.function().
• Actually, we rarely use the “math” library in deep learning because the inputs of the functions are real numbers. In deep learning we mostly use matrices and vectors. This is why numpy is more useful.
• In fact, if x=(x1,x2,…,xn) is a row vector then np.exp(x) will apply the exponential function to every element of x. The output will thus be: np.exp(x)=(ex1,ex2,…,exn)
