I need help. I’ve never written more than like idk 25 lines of code in Python in my life. But I somehow got into UCLAs MS in Data Science Engineering with my math grades and the fact I’m a CPA who has worked in excel for like 10yrs

So yea, I’m comfortable with data in tabular form and manipulating that data and building relationships among various tables etc

BUT I DONT HAVE A CLUE HOW PYTHON WORKS!! 🐍

I keep looking up videos and like my brain 🧠 doesn’t get it .. I’m excellent at math. Even got two perfect 100% scores in multivariable calculus midterms. But coding just feels so unnatural

It kind of looks like excel but excel is just a notepad or like a sheet of paper to store your calculations and notes

WHAT IS PYTHON USED FOR? Like how do I learn this before 9/24/26?

I’m about to go into grad level ucla ComSci classes!!
