Array Computing and Curve Plotting
Chapter
Abstract
Arrays represent perhaps the most useful object in numerical computing. This chapter gives a brief introduction to arrays, how they are created and what they can be used for. Array computing usually ends up with a lot of numbers, which are hard to understand unless they are visualized in a proper way. This chapter concentrates on visualizing one-dimensional array data as curves of the form y=f(x). We describe Python tools for plotting such curves.
