An open-access book by Nicolas P. Rougier (2017) teaching NumPy vectorization techniques for migrating from pure Python to array-based computing. It covers code, problem, and custom vectorization with worked examples like path finding and fluid dynamics.

Use cases

  • learn how to vectorize Python loops with numpy
  • speed up slow python numerical code
  • understand numpy array memory layout, views and copies
  • learn broadcasting and reshaping techniques
  • study vectorized solutions to pathfinding and simulation problems
  • find a free book on numpy best practices

When to choose

  • you know Python and want to write faster numerical code with NumPy
  • you prefer learning vectorization through worked examples rather than API references
  • you want a free, open-access resource

When to avoid

  • you need a beginner introduction to Python itself
  • you want up-to-date coverage of newer NumPy features or alternatives like JAX
  • you need a reference manual rather than a conceptual book
