Update SciPy lecture: Fix outdated import statement for SciPy 1.15+ compatibility

[Copilot]

The SciPy lecture contained an outdated example showing that importing SciPy automatically imports NumPy symbols into the global namespace. This behavior changed in modern SciPy versions (1.15+) as part of namespace cleanup efforts.

What was wrong:
The lecture showed this outdated code example:

# Import numpy symbols to scipy namespace
from numpy import *
from numpy.random import rand, randn
from numpy.fft import fft, ifft
from numpy.lib.scimath import *

What's fixed:
Updated the section to accurately reflect that SciPy 1.15+ no longer auto-imports NumPy symbols, which is better practice as it avoids namespace pollution. The lecture now correctly explains that NumPy should be imported explicitly:

import numpy as np
import quantecon as qe

Testing:

• Verified all SciPy functionality in the lecture works correctly with SciPy 1.15.3
• Confirmed all examples (statistics, optimization, integration, exercises) execute without warnings
• Validated that the lecture builds successfully
• Tested comprehensive SciPy functionality including scipy.stats, scipy.optimize, and scipy.integrate modules

This change ensures students learn current best practices while maintaining full compatibility with modern SciPy versions.

Fixes #334.

This review triggers some good ideas, but copilot didn't interpret the context of the lecture correctly. I have made a manual update to this PR to address the good review suggestion -- and made a note about older versions of SciPy < 0.15.1 re: namespace imports from numpy

@bishmaybarik when you have time would you mind to review this suggestion?

Hi @mmcky. Sure, I'll review this and get back to you as soon as possible!

Hi @mmcky , I went through the PR and this version looks good. I also checked the deployment and it looks like everything is clear and in place.

thanks @bishmaybarik.
