'''NumPy''' (pronounced {{IPAc-en|ˈ|n|ʌ|m|p|aɪ}} {{respell|NUM|py}}) is a [[Library (computing)|library]] for the [[Python (programming language)|Python programming language]], adding support for large, multi-dimensional [[Array data structure|arrays]] and [[matrix (mathematics)|matrices]], along with a large collection of [[High-level programming language|high-level]] [[mathematics|mathematical]] [[function (mathematics)|functions]] to operate on these arrays.<ref name="Nature">{{cite Q|Q99413970|display-authors=3}}</ref> The predecessor of NumPy, Numeric, was originally created by [[Jim Hugunin]] with contributions from several other developers. In 2005, [[Travis Oliphant]] created NumPy by incorporating features of the competing Numarray into Numeric, with extensive modifications. NumPy is [[open-source software]] and has many contributors. NumPy is fiscally sponsored by [[NumFOCUS]].<ref>{{cite web|title=NumFOCUS Sponsored Projects|url=https://numfocus.org/sponsored-projects|publisher=NumFOCUS|access-date=2021-10-25}}</ref>
