这不是一本Python入门书，你需要熟悉Python，并了解Numpy。 如果你没有这些知识，可先学习 bibliography_ 中列举的内容。
我们将使用一些命名约定：如果没有特别说明，那么默认 numpy, scipy 和 matplotlib 三个库的导入方式如下:
import numpy as np
import scipy as sp
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt我们使用的是当前最新版的库，版本如下：
| Packages | Version |
|---|---|
| Python | 3.6.0 |
| Numpy | 1.12.0 |
| Scipy | 0.18.1 |
| Matplotlib | 2.0.0 |
