+\frametitle{Outline}
+\label{sec-1}
+
+\begin{itemize}
+\item Arrays
+
+\begin{itemize}
+\item why arrays over lists
+\end{itemize}
+
+\item Creating arrays
+\item Array operations
+\end{itemize}
+\end{frame}
+\begin{frame}
+\frametitle{Overview of Arrays}
+\label{sec-2}
+
+\begin{itemize}
+\item Arrays are homogeneous data structures.
+
+\begin{itemize}
+\item elements have to the same data type
+\end{itemize}
+
+\item Arrays are faster compared to lists
+
+\begin{itemize}
+\item at least \emph{80-100 times} faster than lists
+\end{itemize}
+
+\end{itemize}
+\end{frame}
+\begin{frame}[fragile]
+\frametitle{Creating Arrays}
+\label{sec-3}
+
+\begin{itemize}
+\item Creating a 1-dimensional array
+\end{itemize}
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+ In []: a1 = array([1, 2, 3, 4])
+\end{verbatim}
+
+\begin{itemize}
+\item Creating a 2-dimensional array
+\end{itemize}
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+ In []: a2 = array([[1,2,3,4],[5,6,7,8]])
+\end{verbatim}
+
+\begin{itemize}
+\item Easier method of creating array with consecutive elements.
+\end{itemize}
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+ In []: ar = arange(1,9)
+\end{verbatim}
+\end{frame}
+\begin{frame}[fragile]
+\frametitle{\texttt{reshape()} method}
+\label{sec-4}
+
+\begin{itemize}
+\item To reshape an array
+\end{itemize}
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+ In []: ar.reshape(2, 4)
+ In []: ar.reshape(4, 2)
+ In []: ar = ar.reshape(2, 4)
+\end{verbatim}
+\end{frame}
+\begin{frame}[fragile]
+\frametitle{Creating \texttt{array} from \texttt{list}.}
+\label{sec-5}
+
+\begin{itemize}
+\item \texttt{array()} method accepts list as argument
+\item Creating a list
+\begin{verbatim}
+ In []: l1 = [1, 2, 3, 4]
+\end{verbatim}
+
+\item Creating an array
+\begin{verbatim}
+ In []: a3 = array(l1)
+\end{verbatim}
+
+\end{itemize}
+\end{frame}
+\begin{frame}
+\frametitle{Exercise 1}
+\label{sec-6}
+
+ Create a 3-dimensional array of the order (2, 2, 4).
+\end{frame}
+\begin{frame}[fragile]
+\frametitle{\texttt{.shape} of array}
+\label{sec-7}
+
+\begin{itemize}
+\item \texttt{.shape}
+ To find the shape of the array
+\begin{verbatim}
+ In []: a1.shape
+\end{verbatim}
+
+\item \texttt{.shape}
+ returns a tuple of shape
+\end{itemize}
+\end{frame}
+\begin{frame}
+\frametitle{Exercise 2}
+\label{sec-8}
+
+ Find out the shape of the other arrays(a2, a3, ar) that we have created.
+\end{frame}
+\begin{frame}[fragile]
+\frametitle{Homogeneous data}
+\label{sec-9}
+
+\begin{itemize}
+\item All elements in array should be of same type
+\begin{verbatim}
+ In []: a4 = array([1,2,3,'a string'])
+\end{verbatim}
+
+\end{itemize}
+\end{frame}
+\begin{frame}[fragile]
+\frametitle{Implicit type casting}
+\label{sec-10}
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+ In []: a4
+\end{verbatim}
+
+ All elements are type casted to string type
+\end{frame}
+\begin{frame}
+\frametitle{\texttt{identity()}, \texttt{zeros()} methods}
+\label{sec-11}
+
+\begin{itemize}
+\item \texttt{identity(n)}
+ Creates an identity matrix, a square matrix of order (n, n) with diagonal elements 1 and others 0.
+\item \texttt{zeros((m, n))}
+ Creates an \texttt{m X n} matrix with all elements 0.
+\end{itemize}
+\end{frame}
+\begin{frame}
+\frametitle{Learning exercise}
+\label{sec-12}
+
+\begin{itemize}
+\item Find out about
+
+\begin{itemize}
+\item \texttt{zeros\_like()}
+\item \texttt{ones()}
+\item \texttt{ones\_like()}
+\end{itemize}
+
+\end{itemize}
+\end{frame}
+\begin{frame}
+\frametitle{Array operations}
+\label{sec-13}
+
+\begin{itemize}
+\item \texttt{a1 * 2}
+ returns a new array with all elements of \texttt{a1} multiplied by \texttt{2}.
+
+\begin{itemize}
+\item Similarly \texttt{+}, \texttt{-} \& \texttt{/}.
+\end{itemize}
+
+\item \texttt{a1 + 2}
+ returns a new array with all elements of \texttt{a1} summed with \texttt{2}.
+\item \texttt{a1 += 2}
+ adds \texttt{2} to all elements of array \texttt{a1}.
+
+\begin{itemize}
+\item Similarly \texttt{-=}, \texttt{*=} \& \texttt{/=}.
+\end{itemize}
+
+\item \texttt{a1 + a2}
+ does elements-wise addition.
+
+\begin{itemize}
+\item Similarly \texttt{-}, \texttt{*} \& \texttt{/}.
+\end{itemize}
+
+\item \texttt{a1 * a2}
+ does element-wise multiplication
+\end{itemize}
+
+
+ \textbf{Note} - array(A) * array(B) does element wise multiplication and not matrix multiplication
