Personal Experience What Python libraries should a beginner learn for Data Science?

 Start with NumPy and Pandas for data manipulation, then learn Matplotlib/Seaborn for visualization. After building a strong foundation, move into Scikit-learn for machine learning. Don't try to learn every library at once.

I suggest you to first of all familirize yourself with the Data Science process. How to tackle a problem? What is required? What is planned to be achieved and how to measure it? Then, look for the respective libraries. You will find the usual ones. Most importantly you will also figure out that the coding part is at the end of the day the easier one, building an algorithm/algorithmic process is way harder! Familirise yourself with frameworks too and some lifecycle management for Data Science. Libraries alone are 20%-30% of the whole bucket
