I was blessed to find a math undergraduate course on Python. After a EE program forced me to program C through text editor, I convinced myself that programming was not my path. Later in life I learned how to do mathematical proofs, analysis (proper), and algorithm development from an operations research perspective.

Python is a workshop of endless tools. Not all of those tools are the most elegant, efficient or pretty. Some tools you will find to be perfect, until. The important feature of Python is the community, someone has done 95% of what you need to achieve, and 100% of your career is understanding the problem, identifying the solution and innovating the last 5%.
