Our Objective

Compute EMIs for a loan using the NumPy library.

The Theory

To compute Equated Monthly Instalments (EMIs) for a loan using the NumPy library, you'll need to use the formula for calculating EMIs. The formula takes into account the loan amount, interest rate, and loan tenure (in months) to calculate the fixed monthly payment that the borrower needs to make. 
The formula to calculate EMI is as follows: 

EMI = P * r * (1 + r)^n / ((1 + r)^n - 1) 

• EMI = Equated Monthly Instalment  
• P = Principal amount (loan amount) 
• r = Monthly interest rate (annual interest rate divided by 12 and then converted to a decimal)  
• n = Loan tenure in months 

NumPy is a powerful library for numerical computing in Python, and it can be used to implement the necessary mathematical operations to calculate EMI. After importing NumPy with the alias np, you can use its functionalities for efficient numerical computations. NumPy is an essential tool for various scientific and data-related tasks, including data analysis, statistical analysis, signal processing, image processing, and machine learning. NumPy  is a powerful library in Python that provides support for large, multi-dimensional arrays and matrices, as well as a collection of high-level mathematical functions to operate on these arrays efficiently. NumPy is open-source and extensively used by researchers, data scientists, and engineers for various numerical computing tasks.
