This might be a slightly better page: https://www.continuum.io/anaconda-overview

But, they really don't give enough info about what, where, why. What data? Who is this intended for? Etc.

I think the poster assumed that data science/computational work could provide the mathematical background the OP is looking for.

Because Anaconda is a package of tools that include numpy,scipy (python numerical and scientific computing) and a notebook (a "live editing" utility).

While this might help, I wonder if this is too roundabout a way to learn math.
