This is very much a work in progress. This re-formatting is taking some time.

numeric variables are double precision if decimal specified <br/> no semicolon needed to supress output <br/>`a = 5. # this is a float`<br/>`a = 5 # this is an int` | numeric variables are double precision by default <br/>`a = 5.0; % this is a double`
numeric arrays are objects defined in NumPy package <br/> indexes start at 0 in Python <br/> structures are defined by indentation, no 'end' <br/>`A = np.empty(10) # initialize array A`| array indexes start at 1 in Matlab <br/> indentation is for readability only <br/>`for i=1:10`<br/>` A(i) = i;`
