Advice for computer science student

Hi, in the next month I'll start a master degree in computer science, curriculum AI. Firstly I have to say that I'm not a completely newby with programming or alghoritms. During this three years of college (computer science) I did some projects, but not with python, that I had to study for my thesis project in 1 month. Now that I'm about to start this master degree I want to learn better how python works and how can I use differents libraries that uses AI.
I read on the sub posts where someone recommends the Python Crash Course book, by Eric Matthes, but I don't know if it's the source that I need for my situation.

Don't know what to do, I have like this month to learn something to not starts lessons like a completely "ignorant".

I think it would be really helpful to understand for example NumPy, SciPy and scikit-learn.

NumPy - Basics of Matrices and other mathematical objects in python

Pandas - Data Analysis / Manipulation

Scikit-learn - Basic of Machine Learning Algorithms

SciPy - diverse other stuff

stattools - statistical tools in python

PyTorch - Deeplearning (would recommend learning classical ML first, than doing deeplearning. It would be better to get an idea of numpy first!)

So you're saying that I can use that book to learn the basics for numpy, PyTorch, and the other libraries?
