It says " You will write small programs in the programming language Python to implement basic matrix and vector functionality and algorithms, and use these to process real-world data..." so I'm guessing he views the lack-of-math-functionality in Python as an advantage for his teaching style. I personally disagree that it is an advantage. And processing real world data using your own pure-path implementation of basic algorithms seems painful. I'd at least use numpy/scipy.
