| 1 | | Array:: |
| 2 | | A contaner of elements of the same type (and length) organized in a regular N-dimensional grid. |
| 3 | | Axis:: |
| 4 | | An index into the shape array. Many array functions take axis as an argument. |
| 5 | | Dimension:: |
| 6 | | (1) An axis; (2) The length of an axis; (3) The rank |
| 7 | | Shape:: |
| 8 | | A tuple containing the sizes of the grid. |
| 9 | | Rank:: |
| 10 | | The length of the shape tuple. |
| 11 | | Index:: |
| 12 | | An integer indicating position of an element along an axis of the grid. The index of the first element is 0. |
| 13 | | Vector:: |
| 14 | | An array of rank 1. |
| 15 | | Matrix:: |
| 16 | | An array of rank 2. ''Add more on NumPy matrices'' |
| 17 | | Tensor:: |
| 18 | | An array, generally of rank greater than 2. |
| 19 | | Scalar:: |
| 20 | | An element in an array. ''Explain the difference between scalars and rank-0 arrays'' |
