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

SciPy is organized into subpackages covering different scientific computing domains. These are summarized in the following table:

Subpackage	Description
cluster	Clustering algorithms
constants	Physical and mathematical constants
fft	Discrete Fourier transforms
fftpack	Fast Fourier Transform routines (legacy)
integrate	Integration and ordinary differential equation solvers
interpolate	Interpolation and smoothing splines
io	Input and Output
linalg	Linear algebra
ndimage	N-dimensional image processing
odr	Orthogonal distance regression
optimize	Optimization and root-finding routines
signal	Signal processing
sparse	Sparse matrices and associated routines
spatial	Spatial data structures and algorithms
special	Special functions
stats	Statistical distributions and functions

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

Below, you can find the complete user guide organized by subpackages.
