        API reference
        ^^^^^^^^^^^^^

        The reference guide contains a detailed description of
        the SciPy API. The reference describes how the methods work and which parameters can
        be used. It assumes that you have an understanding of the key concepts.

        Building from source
        ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

        Want to build from source rather than use a Python distribution or
        pre-built SciPy binary? This guide will describe how to set up your
        build environment, and how to build *SciPy* itself, including the many
        options for customizing that build.
