Project description

  • Proposal:
    • Create and improve high-level documentation—Tutorials and How-Tos—covering topics that are missing from the official documentation.
    • Creating a new ""Explanations"" section, organizing the content currently scattered through the reference documentation.
  • Goal: provide ways to guide users to the parts of the documentation most relevant to them.
  • Outcome: improve high-level documentation for new Pythonistas as well as experienced scientists and programmers.
  • Please note that I have experience using NumPy in the context of numerical computing and machine learning (with Pandas, PyTorch, TensorFlow, and JAX).
