# Module 1: Tensor - Core Data Structure with NBDev Educational Features
Welcome to the Tensor module! This demonstrates NBDev's powerful built-in educational capabilities.
## Learning Goals
- Understand tensors as N-dimensional arrays with ML-specific operations
- Implement a complete Tensor class with arithmetic operations
- Handle shape management, data types, and memory layout
- **See NBDev's educational directives in action**
## NBDev Educational Features Demonstrated
- `#|hide` - Complete solutions hidden by default
- `#|code-fold: show` - Code visible but collapsible
- `#|filter_stream` - Clean output by filtering warnings
- Cell tags for instructor/student modes
This module builds the core data structure that all other TinyTorch components will use.

## Step 1: What is a Tensor?
A **tensor** is an N-dimensional array with ML-specific operations. Think of it as:
- **Scalar** (0D): A single number - `5.0`
- **Vector** (1D): A list of numbers - `[1, 2, 3]`
- **Matrix** (2D): A 2D array - `[[1, 2], [3, 4]]`
- **Higher dimensions**: 3D, 4D, etc. for images, video, batches
