Looking forward to learn python as a hobby and I came across this “computer?”, regardless if it’s useful with python what exactly is a raspberry pi and how is it useful? If it could be explained in simple terms that would be fantastic, I literally know nothing about coding or python.
Also if you could suggest a coding language that would be suitable for math i’d appreciate it since i’m looking to code something related with math since i love math (maybe i could start with a script/program that could resolve integers or maybe graph functions or anything of that matter)
Thanks.

A raspberry pi is just a brand of computers made by the raspberry pi company. They share specific characteristics such as: being single board computers (all the essential parts are attached to a single PCB); very small; ARM based CPU (like in your phone); low power consumption.
These characteristics make it ideal for uses where cost, portability, power consumption etc are important but computer power is not.

Really depends what you mean by “suitable for math”. All programming languages are maths at heart and can be used for maths, though some are specialised in certain ways, eg mathmatica and maple are designed specifically for solving mathematical problems, MATLAB is designed for matrix manipulation, fortran is designed for numerical computation. Python is good though because it has libraries for everything, eg symbolab is for doing maths kind of like mathmatic and maple, numpy is for working with matrices like MATLAB, matplotlib is good for making plots and graphs.
