Book Description
With the SciPy Stack,you get the power to effectively process,manipulate,and visualize your data using the popular Python language. Utilizing SciPy correctly can sometimes be a very tricky proposition. This book provides the right techniques so you can use SciPy to perform different data science tasks with ease.
This book includes hands-on recipes for using the different components of the SciPy Stack such as NumPy,SciPy,matplotlib,and pandas,among others. You will use these libraries to solve real-world problems in linear algebra,numerical analysis,data visualization,and much more. The recipes included in the book will ensure you get a practical understanding not only of how a particular feature in SciPy Stack works,but also of its application to real-world problems. The independent nature of the recipes also ensure that you can pick up any one and learn about a particular feature of SciPy without reading through the other recipes,thus making the book a very handy and useful guide.
