Install it, and work your way through the included tutorial.  You're in for
a treat!

Probably not.

This can't be answered until you can ask a better question <wink>.  To get
started, download only Numeric-20.3.win32-py2.2.exe.  That's assuming you
want to use version 20.3 of NumPy (I can't answer that for you), and don't
want any NumPy addons at the start (ditto).

Nope.  Note that you'll usually get better help with NumPy on its mailing
list:
