What is SciPy in Python?

SciPy is an open-source Python library used for scientific and technical computing. It builds on NumPy and provides a large number of functions for optimization, integration, interpolation, eigenvalue problems, and more.

How do I install SciPy?

You can install SciPy using pip. Just run the command pip install scipy in your terminal.

Can you give me an example of using SciPy for optimization?

Sure! You can use scipy.optimize.minimize to find the minimum of a function. For example:

from scipy.optimize import minimize

def objective(x):
    return x**2 + 5*x + 6

result = minimize(objective, 0)
print(result)

What are some common functions in SciPy?

Some common functions in SciPy include scipy.integrate for integration, scipy.linalg for linear algebra, and scipy.stats for statistical functions.
