NumPy looks like a calculator and behaves like a memory model. 🧮
Most tutorials start with functions. This one starts with the five decisions NumPy made before you opened it: an array is one block of memory, shape is a contract between arrays, a slice is a view you can write through, the loop belongs in C, and the axis tells you which direction collapses.
15 chapters, 25 runnable examples, and every output copied from a real execution on NumPy 2.0.2. 🚀
Arrays, shapes and the machinery under the math:
