SciPy (Scientific Python) is an open-source Python library used for scientific and technical computing. Built on the foundation of NumPy, it provides a wide range of high-level functions and algorithms that facilitate operations on large and complex datasets. SciPy encompasses modules for optimization, integration, interpolation, eigenvalue problems, algebraic equations, and other advanced mathematical tasks, making it a cornerstone for researchers and developers in fields such as data science, engineering, and physical sciences. Its user-friendly interface, coupled with comprehensive documentation, allows users to efficiently implement sophisticated computational tasks, enhancing productivity and accuracy in scientific research and application development.

SciPy Installation

Like other Python libraries, you can install it using pip or conda. You just have to type the following commands:

pip install scipy    # pip command

conda install scipy  # conda command

Once you have installed SciPy, you can import it into your Python project:

import scipy
