Very complete documentation is available from the primary developer of NumPy for a small fee. After a brief period, that documentation will become freely available. See http://www.trelgol.com for details. The fee and restriction period is intended to allow people and to encourage companies to easily contribute to the development of NumPy. This directory will contain all public documentation that becomes available. Very good documentation is also available using Python's (and especially IPython's) own help system. Most of the functions have docstrings that provide usage assistance.
