  \frametitle{The \num\ module}
  \begin{itemize}
      \item Why?
  \item What:
    \begin{itemize}
    \item An efficient and powerful array type for various common data
      types
    \item Abstracts out the most commonly used standard operations on
      arrays
    \end{itemize}
  \end{itemize}

# Pi and e are defined.
>>> x = linspace(0.0, 10.0, 1000)

\begin{frame}
  \frametitle{Basic concepts}
  \begin{itemize}
  \item fixed size (\typ{arr.size});
  \item Same type (\typ{arr.dtype}) of data
  \item arbitrary dimensionality
  \item \typ{arr.shape}: size in each dimension
  \item \alert{Note:} \typ{len(arr) != arr.size} in general
  \item \alert{Note:} By default array operations are performed
    \alert{elementwise}

  \begin{enumerate}
      \item Write a function that plots any regular n-gon given \typ{n}.
      \item Consider the logistic map, $f(x) = kx(1-x)$, plot it for
          $k=2.5, 3.5$ and $4$ in the same plot.
\end{enumerate}

    \begin{enumerate}
      \item Consider the iteration $x_{n+1} = f(x_n)$ where $f(x) =
          kx(1-x)$.  Plot the successive iterates of this process.
      \item Plot this using a cobweb plot as follows:
          \begin{enumerate}
              \item Start at $(x_0, 0)$
              \item Draw line to $(x_i, f(x_i))$; 
              \item Set $x_{i+1} = f(x_i)$
              \item Draw line to $(x_i, x_i)$
              \item Repeat from 2 for as long as you want
