Please give any additional information about the resource you think is worth including, as well as any potential limitations

I found this book very good. It starts by explaining some internals of numpy that one'd normally need to dig deep into documentation to uncover, describes several different approaches towards rewriting pure-python code in numpy, and the later example problems in the book are very impressive. It is, however, a fairly specialized resource, and I'm not sure if we tend to include those - perhaps a category of "Data Science" will do, though it's not an exact fit.

This looks very well made, so a +1 from me.
