As per my understanding, you want jQuery to read a folder on your
server and extract all the images there, right? If so, I don't think
it's possible. jQuery is client-side scripting platform (JavaScript)
and it runs on your browser not your server.
Yes, you may integrate it with serer-side script
BlueSky is correct. JavaScript that runs in the browser does not have
access to either a local or server-based file system. For that you
need either: (1) a classic server-side programming language (ala
BlueSky's notes for PHP, ASP.NET, ColdFusion, etc.) or (2) a site that
runs the Jaxer server
So what I could do is use something like PHP, to pull images from the folder
place them into a array, use the math function to pull something at random
then use Javascript to style the information. Would this be possible to do
with Python? I have some experience with Python. And or Ruby?
any server side language.

You can do this entirely on the client if
(1) you either know the names of all the image files in the directory
on the server or
(2) you can construct them programatically at runtime.
The latter works for instance if the file names are something like
image_1.png, image_2.png, image_3.png, ...,
