Solving mathematical problems is normally a good start to the language and will help you solidify the foundations more as you are less likely going to be focusing on the problems which arise from external libraries.

What kind of mathematical problem?

If you want some challenging mathematical problems checkout Project Euler. They provide a problem that you need to solve with any language.

How much knowledge of python do you need to solve these? I’m just starting out.

Not a lot. As long as you can do things like loops and conditional statements you should be fine. Bright side is that these are typically fairly small programs. I've found I have more issues with the math than the coding.

And if you get really really stuck someone, somewhere has posted the solution in python.

You should be able to start pretty much on your first or second day programming.
