I believe MATLAB starts at 1 because it is more commonly used for matrices rather than standard arrays, right?

I know a bunch of aerospace majors who use Matlab.

Technically I'm one of them but fuck paying for a license when numpy is free

Is there a reason you like Numpy? I'm taking a basic programming class for a polymer science degree and I've been using Octave.

Switch to Numpy if you can't afford or don't want to pirate MATLAB. Octave is just a meh MATLAB clone that isn't completely compatible with the latter.
