• SciPy User Guide

SciPy is a collection of mathematical algorithms and convenience functions built on NumPy . It adds significant power to Python by providing the user with high-level commands and classes for manipulating and visualizing data.

Subpackages and User Guides#

SciPy is organized into subpackages covering different scientific computing domains. These are summarized in the following table, with their user guide linked in the Description and User Guide column (if available):

There are also additional user guides for these topics:

• Sparse eigenvalue problems with ARPACK - Eigenvalue problem solver using iterative methods
• Compressed Sparse Graph Routines (scipy.sparse.csgraph) - Compressed Sparse Graph Routines

For guidance on organizing and importing functions from SciPy subpackages, refer to the Guidelines for Importing Functions from SciPy.
