Floating-Point Arithmetic - Hazards and Fixes
---------------------------------------------

Our exploration of floating-point arithmetic continues with an examination of common problems that can arise, and the ways in which these problems can be avoided.

Jupyter Notebook
----------------

- IPython "magics": %timeit and %%timeit

Python
------

- More plotting options

NumPy
-----

NumPy is the standard package for numerical computing in Python. It uses a new container for numerical data - the ndarray - that supports fast and efficient computation. NumPy also defines routines for accessing and manipulating these arrays.

- Array creation
- Array operations
- Vectorization
- Multi-dimensional arrays
- Array indexing and slicing
- **loadtxt**
- **mean**

Quiz 3: Markdown and LaTeX
