Comment(by charris):

 To keep it looking manageable, you could simply start with the ValueError.
 This is pretty universally raised for bad inputs but could be made more
 specific:

 ShapeError -- when say 1d or 2d required[[BR]]
 BroadcastError -- well, broadcast error[[BR]]
 etc.

 Likewise there is the common problem of algorithms to converge, maybe

 ConvergenceError

 There are a lot of (numbered) errors raised in the linear algebra routines
 in lapack, so it might be worth classifying those.

 There is another set of errors in the fft and package.
