[Numpy-discussion] NumPy foundations

[Chao YUE]

I think in the attached numpy guide (I downloaded some days ago from numpy
website) by Travis E. Oliphant, he talked about some of the development of
numpy. and how
scipy and numeric evolved to numpy (if I am not wrong here....) hope it can
be of a little help.
