Universal functions
Universal functions (ufuncs) expect a set of scalars as input and produce a set of scalars as output. They are actually Python objects that encapsulate the behavior of a function. We can typically map ufuncs to their mathematical counterparts such as add, subtract, divide, multiply, and so on. Universal functions are, in general, faster because of their special optimizations and because they run on the native level.
