WHAT IS GONUM?

Gonum, short for Go Numerical, is a golang package built and designed by gonum.org to aid scientific computations in the Go programming language.

The Gonum package is similar to the Numpy in the Python programming language; Numpy currently has more to offer with more functionalities than Gonum, which started in 2017; however, Gonum features are improving consistently.

The Gonum package supports functionalities for various scientific computations like Linear Algebra, Calculus, Statistics, graphs, and many others.

In this publication, we go over various functions and use-cases of Gonum.
