π‘ Problem Formulation: When working with numerical data, a common requirement is to create sequences of numbers that increase geometrically, meaning each subsequent number is a constant factor times the previous one. In Python, NumPy’s geomspace()
function is tailored for this task. For example, if the input is a start value of 1 and an end value of 1000 over 4 numbers, the desired output is a geometric sequence: [1, 10, 100, 1000].
Method 1: Basic use of numpy.geomspace()
The numpy.geomspace()
function generates geometrically spaced numbers over a specified interval. It’s perfect for creating logarithmic scales, which are common in signal processing, music theory, or any field where exponential growth patterns are evident. The function requires at least two arguments: start and stop values that define the range of the sequence, and optionally, the number of samples to generate.
Here’s an example:
[ 1. 10. 100. 1000.]
Even in a single line of code, we can create a default geometric sequence spanning from 1 to 1000. It’s especially handy for quick computations or incorporating into larger mathematical expressions.
Summary/Discussion
- Method 1: Basic use of
numpy.geomspace()
. This method is straightforward and works well for most use cases. However, it assumes you want to include the endpoint and use the default base of 10. - Method 2: Reverse ordered sequences. It’s useful for creating sequences where the values need to decrease exponentially. The downside is that it might not be as commonly used as the increasing sequences.
- Method 3: Excluding the endpoint. Offers more control over the generated sequence, which can be useful in certain mathematical contexts. The con is that the end value must be calculated separately if needed.
- Method 4: Customizing the logarithm base. This offers the highest level of customization for different exponential patterns. It’s slightly more complex and requires an understanding of the desired base.
- Method 5: Compact one-liner sequence. Perfect for quick calculations when the default settings suffice. May not be suitable for all situations where customization is necessary.

import numpy as np geometric_sequence = np.geomspace(1, 1000, num=4) print(geometric_sequence)
The output of this code snippet:
[ 1. 10. 100. 1000.]
This snippet demonstrates the basic use of numpy.geomspace()
to create a geometric sequence. By specifying the start, stop, and num parameters, we instruct NumPy to generate four numbers starting from 1 and multiplying by 10 to reach the next value up to 1000.
Method 2: Generating Reverse Ordered Geometric Sequences
numpy.geomspace()
can also create sequences in reverse order by specifying a start value that is greater than the stop value. This can be particularly useful when you need to generate values that decrease exponentially.
Here’s an example:
import numpy as np reverse_geometric_sequence = np.geomspace(1000, 1, num=4) print(reverse_geometric_sequence)
The output of this code snippet:
[1000. 100. 10. 1.]
This code snippet inverts the creation of the geometric sequence. Starting at 1000 and ending at 1, it produces a sequence that decreases by a factor of 10 with each step.
Method 3: Including the Endpoint or Not
The numpy.geomspace()
function has an endpoint
parameter, which is a boolean flag indicating whether to include the stop value in the output array. It is set to True
by default, but setting it to False
changes the distribution of the generated values.
Here’s an example:
import numpy as np geometric_sequence_no_endpoint = np.geomspace(1, 1000, num=4, endpoint=False) print(geometric_sequence_no_endpoint)
The output of this code snippet:
[ 1. 5.62341325 31.6227766 177.827941 ]
Disabling the endpoint yields a sequence that does not include the final value, resulting in different intermediate values as compared to including the endpoint.
Method 4: Logarithm Base Customization
The numpy.geomspace()
function also allows for changing the logarithm base used to calculate the sequence using the dtype
parameter. By default, the base is 10, but it can be adjusted to any positive number, offering flexibility in sequence generation.
Here’s an example:
import numpy as np geometric_base2_sequence = np.geomspace(1, 16, num=5, dtype=int, base=2) print(geometric_base2_sequence)
The output of this code snippet:

import numpy as np geometric_sequence = np.geomspace(1, 1000, num=4) print(geometric_sequence)
The output of this code snippet:
[ 1. 10. 100. 1000.]
This snippet demonstrates the basic use of numpy.geomspace()
to create a geometric sequence. By specifying the start, stop, and num parameters, we instruct NumPy to generate four numbers starting from 1 and multiplying by 10 to reach the next value up to 1000.
Method 2: Generating Reverse Ordered Geometric Sequences
numpy.geomspace()
can also create sequences in reverse order by specifying a start value that is greater than the stop value. This can be particularly useful when you need to generate values that decrease exponentially.
Here’s an example:
import numpy as np reverse_geometric_sequence = np.geomspace(1000, 1, num=4) print(reverse_geometric_sequence)
The output of this code snippet:
[1000. 100. 10. 1.]
This code snippet inverts the creation of the geometric sequence. Starting at 1000 and ending at 1, it produces a sequence that decreases by a factor of 10 with each step.
Method 3: Including the Endpoint or Not
The numpy.geomspace()
function has an endpoint
parameter, which is a boolean flag indicating whether to include the stop value in the output array. It is set to True
by default, but setting it to False
changes the distribution of the generated values.
Here’s an example:
import numpy as np geometric_sequence_no_endpoint = np.geomspace(1, 1000, num=4, endpoint=False) print(geometric_sequence_no_endpoint)
The output of this code snippet:
[ 1. 5.62341325 31.6227766 177.827941 ]
Disabling the endpoint yields a sequence that does not include the final value, resulting in different intermediate values as compared to including the endpoint.
Method 4: Logarithm Base Customization
The numpy.geomspace()
function also allows for changing the logarithm base used to calculate the sequence using the dtype
parameter. By default, the base is 10, but it can be adjusted to any positive number, offering flexibility in sequence generation.
Here’s an example:
import numpy as np geometric_base2_sequence = np.geomspace(1, 16, num=5, dtype=int, base=2) print(geometric_base2_sequence)
The output of this code snippet:
[ 1 2 4 8 16]
Here, we’ve generated a sequence using base 2, which mimics the powers of 2, highlighting the versatility of geomspace()
to adhere to different exponential growth patterns.
Bonus One-Liner Method 5: Compact Geometric Sequence Generation
A one-liner use of numpy.geomspace()
is great for quick, inline generation of sequences where defaults are acceptable, and only the start and stop values are provided.
Here’s an example:
import numpy as np print(np.geomspace(1, 1000, 4))
The output of this code snippet:
[ 1. 10. 100. 1000.]
Even in a single line of code, we can create a default geometric sequence spanning from 1 to 1000. It’s especially handy for quick computations or incorporating into larger mathematical expressions.

import numpy as np geometric_sequence = np.geomspace(1, 1000, num=4) print(geometric_sequence)
The output of this code snippet:
[ 1. 10. 100. 1000.]
This snippet demonstrates the basic use of numpy.geomspace()
to create a geometric sequence. By specifying the start, stop, and num parameters, we instruct NumPy to generate four numbers starting from 1 and multiplying by 10 to reach the next value up to 1000.
Method 2: Generating Reverse Ordered Geometric Sequences
numpy.geomspace()
can also create sequences in reverse order by specifying a start value that is greater than the stop value. This can be particularly useful when you need to generate values that decrease exponentially.
Here’s an example:
import numpy as np reverse_geometric_sequence = np.geomspace(1000, 1, num=4) print(reverse_geometric_sequence)
The output of this code snippet:
[1000. 100. 10. 1.]
This code snippet inverts the creation of the geometric sequence. Starting at 1000 and ending at 1, it produces a sequence that decreases by a factor of 10 with each step.
Method 3: Including the Endpoint or Not
The numpy.geomspace()
function has an endpoint
parameter, which is a boolean flag indicating whether to include the stop value in the output array. It is set to True
by default, but setting it to False
changes the distribution of the generated values.
Here’s an example:
import numpy as np geometric_sequence_no_endpoint = np.geomspace(1, 1000, num=4, endpoint=False) print(geometric_sequence_no_endpoint)
The output of this code snippet:
[ 1. 5.62341325 31.6227766 177.827941 ]
Disabling the endpoint yields a sequence that does not include the final value, resulting in different intermediate values as compared to including the endpoint.
Method 4: Logarithm Base Customization
The numpy.geomspace()
function also allows for changing the logarithm base used to calculate the sequence using the dtype
parameter. By default, the base is 10, but it can be adjusted to any positive number, offering flexibility in sequence generation.
Here’s an example:
import numpy as np geometric_base2_sequence = np.geomspace(1, 16, num=5, dtype=int, base=2) print(geometric_base2_sequence)
The output of this code snippet:
[ 1 2 4 8 16]
Here, we’ve generated a sequence using base 2, which mimics the powers of 2, highlighting the versatility of geomspace()
to adhere to different exponential growth patterns.
Bonus One-Liner Method 5: Compact Geometric Sequence Generation
A one-liner use of numpy.geomspace()
is great for quick, inline generation of sequences where defaults are acceptable, and only the start and stop values are provided.
Here’s an example:
import numpy as np print(np.geomspace(1, 1000, 4))
The output of this code snippet:
[ 1. 10. 100. 1000.]
Even in a single line of code, we can create a default geometric sequence spanning from 1 to 1000. It’s especially handy for quick computations or incorporating into larger mathematical expressions.
Summary/Discussion
- Method 1: Basic use of
numpy.geomspace()
. This method is straightforward and works well for most use cases. However, it assumes you want to include the endpoint and use the default base of 10. - Method 2: Reverse ordered sequences. It’s useful for creating sequences where the values need to decrease exponentially. The downside is that it might not be as commonly used as the increasing sequences.
- Method 3: Excluding the endpoint. Offers more control over the generated sequence, which can be useful in certain mathematical contexts. The con is that the end value must be calculated separately if needed.
- Method 4: Customizing the logarithm base. This offers the highest level of customization for different exponential patterns. It’s slightly more complex and requires an understanding of the desired base.
- Method 5: Compact one-liner sequence. Perfect for quick calculations when the default settings suffice. May not be suitable for all situations where customization is necessary.

[ 1. 10. 100. 1000.]
This snippet demonstrates the basic use of numpy.geomspace()
to create a geometric sequence. By specifying the start, stop, and num parameters, we instruct NumPy to generate four numbers starting from 1 and multiplying by 10 to reach the next value up to 1000.
Method 2: Generating Reverse Ordered Geometric Sequences
numpy.geomspace()
can also create sequences in reverse order by specifying a start value that is greater than the stop value. This can be particularly useful when you need to generate values that decrease exponentially.
Here’s an example:
import numpy as np reverse_geometric_sequence = np.geomspace(1000, 1, num=4) print(reverse_geometric_sequence)
The output of this code snippet:
[1000. 100. 10. 1.]
This code snippet inverts the creation of the geometric sequence. Starting at 1000 and ending at 1, it produces a sequence that decreases by a factor of 10 with each step.
Method 3: Including the Endpoint or Not
The numpy.geomspace()
function has an endpoint
parameter, which is a boolean flag indicating whether to include the stop value in the output array. It is set to True
by default, but setting it to False
changes the distribution of the generated values.
Here’s an example:
import numpy as np geometric_sequence_no_endpoint = np.geomspace(1, 1000, num=4, endpoint=False) print(geometric_sequence_no_endpoint)
The output of this code snippet:
[ 1. 5.62341325 31.6227766 177.827941 ]
Disabling the endpoint yields a sequence that does not include the final value, resulting in different intermediate values as compared to including the endpoint.
Method 4: Logarithm Base Customization
The numpy.geomspace()
function also allows for changing the logarithm base used to calculate the sequence using the dtype
parameter. By default, the base is 10, but it can be adjusted to any positive number, offering flexibility in sequence generation.
Here’s an example:
import numpy as np geometric_base2_sequence = np.geomspace(1, 16, num=5, dtype=int, base=2) print(geometric_base2_sequence)
The output of this code snippet:
[ 1 2 4 8 16]
Here, we’ve generated a sequence using base 2, which mimics the powers of 2, highlighting the versatility of geomspace()
to adhere to different exponential growth patterns.
Bonus One-Liner Method 5: Compact Geometric Sequence Generation
A one-liner use of numpy.geomspace()
is great for quick, inline generation of sequences where defaults are acceptable, and only the start and stop values are provided.
Here’s an example:
import numpy as np print(np.geomspace(1, 1000, 4))
The output of this code snippet:
[ 1. 10. 100. 1000.]
Even in a single line of code, we can create a default geometric sequence spanning from 1 to 1000. It’s especially handy for quick computations or incorporating into larger mathematical expressions.

This code snippet inverts the creation of the geometric sequence. Starting at 1000 and ending at 1, it produces a sequence that decreases by a factor of 10 with each step.
Method 3: Including the Endpoint or Not
The numpy.geomspace()
function has an endpoint
parameter, which is a boolean flag indicating whether to include the stop value in the output array. It is set to True
by default, but setting it to False
changes the distribution of the generated values.
Here’s an example:
import numpy as np geometric_sequence_no_endpoint = np.geomspace(1, 1000, num=4, endpoint=False) print(geometric_sequence_no_endpoint)
The output of this code snippet:
[ 1. 5.62341325 31.6227766 177.827941 ]
Disabling the endpoint yields a sequence that does not include the final value, resulting in different intermediate values as compared to including the endpoint.
Method 4: Logarithm Base Customization
The numpy.geomspace()
function also allows for changing the logarithm base used to calculate the sequence using the dtype
parameter. By default, the base is 10, but it can be adjusted to any positive number, offering flexibility in sequence generation.
Here’s an example:
import numpy as np geometric_base2_sequence = np.geomspace(1, 16, num=5, dtype=int, base=2) print(geometric_base2_sequence)
The output of this code snippet:
[ 1 2 4 8 16]
Here, we’ve generated a sequence using base 2, which mimics the powers of 2, highlighting the versatility of geomspace()
to adhere to different exponential growth patterns.
Bonus One-Liner Method 5: Compact Geometric Sequence Generation
A one-liner use of numpy.geomspace()
is great for quick, inline generation of sequences where defaults are acceptable, and only the start and stop values are provided.
Here’s an example:
import numpy as np print(np.geomspace(1, 1000, 4))
The output of this code snippet:
[ 1. 10. 100. 1000.]
Even in a single line of code, we can create a default geometric sequence spanning from 1 to 1000. It’s especially handy for quick computations or incorporating into larger mathematical expressions.
Summary/Discussion
- Method 1: Basic use of
numpy.geomspace()
. This method is straightforward and works well for most use cases. However, it assumes you want to include the endpoint and use the default base of 10. - Method 2: Reverse ordered sequences. It’s useful for creating sequences where the values need to decrease exponentially. The downside is that it might not be as commonly used as the increasing sequences.
- Method 3: Excluding the endpoint. Offers more control over the generated sequence, which can be useful in certain mathematical contexts. The con is that the end value must be calculated separately if needed.
- Method 4: Customizing the logarithm base. This offers the highest level of customization for different exponential patterns. It’s slightly more complex and requires an understanding of the desired base.
- Method 5: Compact one-liner sequence. Perfect for quick calculations when the default settings suffice. May not be suitable for all situations where customization is necessary.

The output of this code snippet:
[ 1. 5.62341325 31.6227766 177.827941 ]
Disabling the endpoint yields a sequence that does not include the final value, resulting in different intermediate values as compared to including the endpoint.
Method 4: Logarithm Base Customization
The numpy.geomspace()
function also allows for changing the logarithm base used to calculate the sequence using the dtype
parameter. By default, the base is 10, but it can be adjusted to any positive number, offering flexibility in sequence generation.
Here’s an example:
import numpy as np geometric_base2_sequence = np.geomspace(1, 16, num=5, dtype=int, base=2) print(geometric_base2_sequence)
The output of this code snippet:
[ 1 2 4 8 16]
Here, we’ve generated a sequence using base 2, which mimics the powers of 2, highlighting the versatility of geomspace()
to adhere to different exponential growth patterns.
Bonus One-Liner Method 5: Compact Geometric Sequence Generation
A one-liner use of numpy.geomspace()
is great for quick, inline generation of sequences where defaults are acceptable, and only the start and stop values are provided.
Here’s an example:
import numpy as np print(np.geomspace(1, 1000, 4))
The output of this code snippet:
[ 1. 10. 100. 1000.]
Even in a single line of code, we can create a default geometric sequence spanning from 1 to 1000. It’s especially handy for quick computations or incorporating into larger mathematical expressions.
Summary/Discussion
- Method 1: Basic use of
numpy.geomspace()
. This method is straightforward and works well for most use cases. However, it assumes you want to include the endpoint and use the default base of 10. - Method 2: Reverse ordered sequences. It’s useful for creating sequences where the values need to decrease exponentially. The downside is that it might not be as commonly used as the increasing sequences.
- Method 3: Excluding the endpoint. Offers more control over the generated sequence, which can be useful in certain mathematical contexts. The con is that the end value must be calculated separately if needed.
- Method 4: Customizing the logarithm base. This offers the highest level of customization for different exponential patterns. It’s slightly more complex and requires an understanding of the desired base.
- Method 5: Compact one-liner sequence. Perfect for quick calculations when the default settings suffice. May not be suitable for all situations where customization is necessary.

This code snippet inverts the creation of the geometric sequence. Starting at 1000 and ending at 1, it produces a sequence that decreases by a factor of 10 with each step.
Method 3: Including the Endpoint or Not
The numpy.geomspace()
function has an endpoint
parameter, which is a boolean flag indicating whether to include the stop value in the output array. It is set to True
by default, but setting it to False
changes the distribution of the generated values.
Here’s an example:
import numpy as np geometric_sequence_no_endpoint = np.geomspace(1, 1000, num=4, endpoint=False) print(geometric_sequence_no_endpoint)
The output of this code snippet:
[ 1. 5.62341325 31.6227766 177.827941 ]
Disabling the endpoint yields a sequence that does not include the final value, resulting in different intermediate values as compared to including the endpoint.
Method 4: Logarithm Base Customization
The numpy.geomspace()
function also allows for changing the logarithm base used to calculate the sequence using the dtype
parameter. By default, the base is 10, but it can be adjusted to any positive number, offering flexibility in sequence generation.
Here’s an example:
import numpy as np geometric_base2_sequence = np.geomspace(1, 16, num=5, dtype=int, base=2) print(geometric_base2_sequence)
The output of this code snippet:

Summary/Discussion
- Method 1: Basic use of
numpy.geomspace()
. This method is straightforward and works well for most use cases. However, it assumes you want to include the endpoint and use the default base of 10. - Method 2: Reverse ordered sequences. It’s useful for creating sequences where the values need to decrease exponentially. The downside is that it might not be as commonly used as the increasing sequences.
- Method 3: Excluding the endpoint. Offers more control over the generated sequence, which can be useful in certain mathematical contexts. The con is that the end value must be calculated separately if needed.
- Method 4: Customizing the logarithm base. This offers the highest level of customization for different exponential patterns. It’s slightly more complex and requires an understanding of the desired base.
- Method 5: Compact one-liner sequence. Perfect for quick calculations when the default settings suffice. May not be suitable for all situations where customization is necessary.

[ 1. 10. 100. 1000.]
This snippet demonstrates the basic use of numpy.geomspace()
to create a geometric sequence. By specifying the start, stop, and num parameters, we instruct NumPy to generate four numbers starting from 1 and multiplying by 10 to reach the next value up to 1000.
Method 2: Generating Reverse Ordered Geometric Sequences
numpy.geomspace()
can also create sequences in reverse order by specifying a start value that is greater than the stop value. This can be particularly useful when you need to generate values that decrease exponentially.
Here’s an example:
import numpy as np reverse_geometric_sequence = np.geomspace(1000, 1, num=4) print(reverse_geometric_sequence)
The output of this code snippet:
[1000. 100. 10. 1.]
This code snippet inverts the creation of the geometric sequence. Starting at 1000 and ending at 1, it produces a sequence that decreases by a factor of 10 with each step.
Method 3: Including the Endpoint or Not
The numpy.geomspace()
function has an endpoint
parameter, which is a boolean flag indicating whether to include the stop value in the output array. It is set to True
by default, but setting it to False
changes the distribution of the generated values.
Here’s an example:
import numpy as np geometric_sequence_no_endpoint = np.geomspace(1, 1000, num=4, endpoint=False) print(geometric_sequence_no_endpoint)
The output of this code snippet:
[ 1. 5.62341325 31.6227766 177.827941 ]
Disabling the endpoint yields a sequence that does not include the final value, resulting in different intermediate values as compared to including the endpoint.
Method 4: Logarithm Base Customization
The numpy.geomspace()
function also allows for changing the logarithm base used to calculate the sequence using the dtype
parameter. By default, the base is 10, but it can be adjusted to any positive number, offering flexibility in sequence generation.
Here’s an example:
import numpy as np geometric_base2_sequence = np.geomspace(1, 16, num=5, dtype=int, base=2) print(geometric_base2_sequence)
The output of this code snippet:
[ 1 2 4 8 16]
Here, we’ve generated a sequence using base 2, which mimics the powers of 2, highlighting the versatility of geomspace()
to adhere to different exponential growth patterns.
Bonus One-Liner Method 5: Compact Geometric Sequence Generation
A one-liner use of numpy.geomspace()
is great for quick, inline generation of sequences where defaults are acceptable, and only the start and stop values are provided.
Here’s an example:
import numpy as np print(np.geomspace(1, 1000, 4))
The output of this code snippet:
[ 1. 10. 100. 1000.]
Even in a single line of code, we can create a default geometric sequence spanning from 1 to 1000. It’s especially handy for quick computations or incorporating into larger mathematical expressions.

Summary/Discussion
- Method 1: Basic use of
numpy.geomspace()
. This method is straightforward and works well for most use cases. However, it assumes you want to include the endpoint and use the default base of 10. - Method 2: Reverse ordered sequences. It’s useful for creating sequences where the values need to decrease exponentially. The downside is that it might not be as commonly used as the increasing sequences.
- Method 3: Excluding the endpoint. Offers more control over the generated sequence, which can be useful in certain mathematical contexts. The con is that the end value must be calculated separately if needed.
- Method 4: Customizing the logarithm base. This offers the highest level of customization for different exponential patterns. It’s slightly more complex and requires an understanding of the desired base.
- Method 5: Compact one-liner sequence. Perfect for quick calculations when the default settings suffice. May not be suitable for all situations where customization is necessary.

import numpy as np print(np.geomspace(1, 1000, 4))
The output of this code snippet:
[ 1. 10. 100. 1000.]
Even in a single line of code, we can create a default geometric sequence spanning from 1 to 1000. It’s especially handy for quick computations or incorporating into larger mathematical expressions.
Summary/Discussion
- Method 1: Basic use of
numpy.geomspace()
. This method is straightforward and works well for most use cases. However, it assumes you want to include the endpoint and use the default base of 10. - Method 2: Reverse ordered sequences. It’s useful for creating sequences where the values need to decrease exponentially. The downside is that it might not be as commonly used as the increasing sequences.
- Method 3: Excluding the endpoint. Offers more control over the generated sequence, which can be useful in certain mathematical contexts. The con is that the end value must be calculated separately if needed.
- Method 4: Customizing the logarithm base. This offers the highest level of customization for different exponential patterns. It’s slightly more complex and requires an understanding of the desired base.
- Method 5: Compact one-liner sequence. Perfect for quick calculations when the default settings suffice. May not be suitable for all situations where customization is necessary.
import numpy as np geometric_sequence = np.geomspace(1, 1000, num=4) print(geometric_sequence)
The output of this code snippet:
[ 1. 10. 100. 1000.]
This snippet demonstrates the basic use of numpy.geomspace()
to create a geometric sequence. By specifying the start, stop, and num parameters, we instruct NumPy to generate four numbers starting from 1 and multiplying by 10 to reach the next value up to 1000.
Method 2: Generating Reverse Ordered Geometric Sequences
numpy.geomspace()
can also create sequences in reverse order by specifying a start value that is greater than the stop value. This can be particularly useful when you need to generate values that decrease exponentially.
Here’s an example:
import numpy as np reverse_geometric_sequence = np.geomspace(1000, 1, num=4) print(reverse_geometric_sequence)
The output of this code snippet:
[1000. 100. 10. 1.]
This code snippet inverts the creation of the geometric sequence. Starting at 1000 and ending at 1, it produces a sequence that decreases by a factor of 10 with each step.
Method 3: Including the Endpoint or Not
The numpy.geomspace()
function has an endpoint
parameter, which is a boolean flag indicating whether to include the stop value in the output array. It is set to True
by default, but setting it to False
changes the distribution of the generated values.
Here’s an example:
import numpy as np geometric_sequence_no_endpoint = np.geomspace(1, 1000, num=4, endpoint=False) print(geometric_sequence_no_endpoint)
The output of this code snippet:
[ 1. 5.62341325 31.6227766 177.827941 ]
Disabling the endpoint yields a sequence that does not include the final value, resulting in different intermediate values as compared to including the endpoint.
Method 4: Logarithm Base Customization
The numpy.geomspace()
function also allows for changing the logarithm base used to calculate the sequence using the dtype
parameter. By default, the base is 10, but it can be adjusted to any positive number, offering flexibility in sequence generation.
Here’s an example:
import numpy as np geometric_base2_sequence = np.geomspace(1, 16, num=5, dtype=int, base=2) print(geometric_base2_sequence)
The output of this code snippet:
[ 1 2 4 8 16]
Here, we’ve generated a sequence using base 2, which mimics the powers of 2, highlighting the versatility of geomspace()
to adhere to different exponential growth patterns.
Bonus One-Liner Method 5: Compact Geometric Sequence Generation
A one-liner use of numpy.geomspace()
is great for quick, inline generation of sequences where defaults are acceptable, and only the start and stop values are provided.
Here’s an example:
import numpy as np print(np.geomspace(1, 1000, 4))
The output of this code snippet:
[ 1. 10. 100. 1000.]
Even in a single line of code, we can create a default geometric sequence spanning from 1 to 1000. It’s especially handy for quick computations or incorporating into larger mathematical expressions.

Summary/Discussion
- Method 1: Basic use of
numpy.geomspace()
. This method is straightforward and works well for most use cases. However, it assumes you want to include the endpoint and use the default base of 10. - Method 2: Reverse ordered sequences. It’s useful for creating sequences where the values need to decrease exponentially. The downside is that it might not be as commonly used as the increasing sequences.
- Method 3: Excluding the endpoint. Offers more control over the generated sequence, which can be useful in certain mathematical contexts. The con is that the end value must be calculated separately if needed.
- Method 4: Customizing the logarithm base. This offers the highest level of customization for different exponential patterns. It’s slightly more complex and requires an understanding of the desired base.
- Method 5: Compact one-liner sequence. Perfect for quick calculations when the default settings suffice. May not be suitable for all situations where customization is necessary.

to create a geometric sequence. By specifying the start, stop, and num parameters, we instruct NumPy to generate four numbers starting from 1 and multiplying by 10 to reach the next value up to 1000.
Method 2: Generating Reverse Ordered Geometric Sequences
numpy.geomspace()
can also create sequences in reverse order by specifying a start value that is greater than the stop value. This can be particularly useful when you need to generate values that decrease exponentially.
Here’s an example:
import numpy as np reverse_geometric_sequence = np.geomspace(1000, 1, num=4) print(reverse_geometric_sequence)
The output of this code snippet:
[1000. 100. 10. 1.]
This code snippet inverts the creation of the geometric sequence. Starting at 1000 and ending at 1, it produces a sequence that decreases by a factor of 10 with each step.
Method 3: Including the Endpoint or Not
The numpy.geomspace()
function has an endpoint
parameter, which is a boolean flag indicating whether to include the stop value in the output array. It is set to True
by default, but setting it to False
changes the distribution of the generated values.
Here’s an example:
import numpy as np geometric_sequence_no_endpoint = np.geomspace(1, 1000, num=4, endpoint=False) print(geometric_sequence_no_endpoint)
The output of this code snippet:
[ 1. 5.62341325 31.6227766 177.827941 ]
Disabling the endpoint yields a sequence that does not include the final value, resulting in different intermediate values as compared to including the endpoint.
Method 4: Logarithm Base Customization
The numpy.geomspace()
function also allows for changing the logarithm base used to calculate the sequence using the dtype
parameter. By default, the base is 10, but it can be adjusted to any positive number, offering flexibility in sequence generation.
Here’s an example:
import numpy as np geometric_base2_sequence = np.geomspace(1, 16, num=5, dtype=int, base=2) print(geometric_base2_sequence)
The output of this code snippet:
[ 1 2 4 8 16]
Here, we’ve generated a sequence using base 2, which mimics the powers of 2, highlighting the versatility of geomspace()
to adhere to different exponential growth patterns.
Bonus One-Liner Method 5: Compact Geometric Sequence Generation
A one-liner use of numpy.geomspace()
is great for quick, inline generation of sequences where defaults are acceptable, and only the start and stop values are provided.
Here’s an example:
import numpy as np print(np.geomspace(1, 1000, 4))
The output of this code snippet:
[ 1. 10. 100. 1000.]
Even in a single line of code, we can create a default geometric sequence spanning from 1 to 1000. It’s especially handy for quick computations or incorporating into larger mathematical expressions.
