numpy

brew install numpy v2.4.6 BSD-3-Clause

Numerical computing library for Python with multi-dimensional array operations and mathematical functions.

Why you might care

NumPy is the foundation for Python's scientific computing ecosystem—required by pandas, SciPy, scikit-learn, and most data science tools. Provides fast, memory-efficient N-dimensional arrays with vectorized operations backed by optimized C and Fortran code (via OpenBLAS). Essential if you're doing any numerical work in Python.
