[Audio] Now we discuss the basic definition of these libraries 1. NumPy: Provides support for large multi-dimensional arrays and matrices along with a collection of mathematical functions to operate on these arrays. 2. Pandas: Essential for data manipulation and analysis offering data structures like DataFrames which simplify handling structured data. 3. Matplotlib and Seaborn: Powerful tools for data visualization allowing the creation of a wide range of static animated and interactive plots. 4. SciPy: Builds on NumPy to provide a large number of functions for scientific and technical computing. 5. Scikit-learn: A robust library for machine learning featuring various algorithms for classification regression clustering and more. 6. TensorFlow and PyTorch: Widely used frameworks for deep learning providing the tools to build and train complex neural networks. These libraries and frameworks form a comprehensive toolkit that can handle every aspect of data science from data wrangling to machine learning and deep learning..
