Now that we've learned a bit about MNIST digits, we're going to take the time to look at a tensor, and what a tensor is. We're going to be looking at a NumPy of multidimensional arrays. Multidimensional arrays are also called tensors. The math vocabulary can be mildly overwhelming, but we're going to show you that it's a lot simpler than you might think. Then, we'll look at tensor shape. Tensor shape is really the number of dimensions, or, in terms of arrays, the number of different indices that you would use to access them. And then finally, we're going to look at datatypes. The tensors, or multidimensional arrays, can hold a wide array of different datatypes, and we'll explain some of the differences.

Let's start with the basics. The most basic tensor you can imagine is a one tensor, which...
