Numeric, the ancestor of NumPy, was developed by Jim Hugunin. Another package Numarray was also developed, having some additional functionalities. In 2005, Travis Oliphant created NumPy package by incorporating the features of Numarray into Numeric package. There are many contributors to this open-source project.

• NumPy or Numerical Python is a python library that provides the following
• a powerful N-dimensional array object
• sophisticated (broadcasting) functions
• tools for integrating C/C++ and Fortran code
• useful linear algebra, Fourier Transform and random number capabilities.

It can also provide an efficient multi-dimensional container of generic data. Arbitrary data-types can be defined. The official website is https://www.numpy.org
