The fundamental package needed for scientific computing with Python is called NumPy. This package contains: * a powerful N-dimensional array object * sophisticated (broadcasting) functions * basic linear algebra functions * basic Fourier transforms * sophisticated random number capabilities * tools for integrating Fortran code. -The fundamental package needed for scientific computing with Python is called NumPy.
