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
