Python for quant-Guidance

I'm an 18M with a few months of free time before starting college. how and where should I learn Python? I'm not really sure which specific quant role I want to go for, but I've heard Python is pretty important. I know the basics of the language... just looking for a bit of guidance.
cheers!!

How do I build real mathematical intuition from the fundamentals?

I’m 18M and I’ve realized that a lot of my math learning has been procedural. I can often follow methods and formulas, but I don’t always deeply understand why they work or how topics connect together.

I want to build stronger intuition from the fundamentals and learn how to actually think mathematically instead of just memorizing steps. My long-term goal is to go into quant/quantitative finance, so I want a solid foundation in areas like algebra, calculus, probability, linear algebra, etc.

For people who improved their mathematical thinking:
What helped you build intuition?
What topics should I truly master first?
Any books, habits, or learning methods you’d recommend?
Cheers!!

Just finished Class 12 (CBSE), and I want to get really good at math.

Not preparing for any exam-just want strong fundamentals and problem-solving skills.

Where should I start? Any good resources, topics to focus on, and how to practice properly?

I’m choosing between these universities for Computer Science / Math with a long-term goal of quantitative finance (master’s later).

Attached qs ranking for reference

  • Taylor's University — #253
  • Sunway University — #410
  • Warsaw University of Technology — #487
  • University of Debrecen — #563
  • Asia Pacific University of Technology & Innovation — #597
  • AGH University of Krakow — #801–850

Which is best overall for:

  • CS/math strength for quant path
  • internships + industry exposure
  • master’s opportunities abroad
  • long-term career flexibility

Not really a brilliant student with exceptionally good grades so yeah, these are the best shots for me
Also, how much should I care about QS ranking vs. actual course strength?

Thank you!

Hey everyone, I have completed finishing Class 12 (CBSE) and plan to pursue a career in quant finance. I have about 2.5–3.5 months before starting undergrad in comp sci.
I wanted to ask:
What should I focus on during this time to build a strong foundation?
Which skills (math, programming, stats, etc.) should I prioritize?
Any specific resources, projects, or habits that would give me an edge early on?
Thanks!

Reading and Writing: Question 19

With the development of new technologies that use natural resources more efficiently, the overall consumption of those resources might be expected to decrease.
