Implemented NumbaExecutionEngine

@@ -31,6 +31,7 @@ Other enhancements
 - :class:`pandas.api.typing.FrozenList` is available for typing the outputs of :attr:`MultiIndex.names`, :attr:`MultiIndex.codes` and :attr:`MultiIndex.levels` (:issue:`58237`)
 - :class:`pandas.api.typing.SASReader` is available for typing the output of :func:`read_sas` (:issue:`55689`)
 - :meth:`pandas.api.interchange.from_dataframe` now uses the `PyCapsule Interface <https://arrow.apache.org/docs/format/CDataInterface/PyCapsuleInterface.html>`_ if available, only falling back to the Dataframe Interchange Protocol if that fails (:issue:`60739`)
+- Added :class:`pandas.core.apply.NumbaExecutionEngine` as the built-in ``numba`` execution engine for ``apply`` and ``map`` operations (:issue:`61458`)
 - Added :meth:`.Styler.to_typst` to write Styler objects to file, buffer or string in Typst format (:issue:`57617`)
 - Added missing :meth:`pandas.Series.info` to API reference (:issue:`60926`)
 - :class:`pandas.api.typing.NoDefault` is available for typing ``no_default``
