What are Pandas and NumPy?
Pandas and NumPy are foundational Python libraries for data work: NumPy provides fast n-dimensional arrays and numerical ops, while Pandas builds DataFrame and Series tools for tabular analysis on top of NumPy.
How teams use them
- NumPy for vectorized math, linear algebra, and array reshaping.
- Pandas for loading, cleaning, joining, and aggregating table-shaped datasets.
- Together they sit under most classical ML and analytics pipelines in Python.
