This repository contains tutorials and exercises that are used to support NAG's training courses for theNAG Library for Python.

The NAG library for Python comes in two versions. One is linked to the Intel MKL for improved linear algebra performance on x86 architectures and the other is linked to NAG's self contained linear algebra libraries.

When using Intel or AMD CPUs we recommend the use of the Intel MKL version of the NAG Library for Python.

Install using the following command

python -m pip install --extra-index-url https://www.nag.com/downloads/py/naginterfaces_mkl naginterfaces
