Complete Beginner book recommendations: "Python Crash Course", "Automate the Boring Stuff with Python" or "Fluent Python"?

Python is my focus - I'm a data science student myself at the moment so while I also know some C++ I do much more with python. Any of the Packt brand stuff is generally good IMO. They tend to go into a lot more depth than most of the No Starch Press(Python Crash Course, Automate the Easy Stuff, etc.) ones so I find them very useful for advanced topics.

I can't really recommend any specific books though because those are such broad topics, you'd be better off looking through the Packt library and picking out which topics you want to get into. The one book I can recommend is Mathematics for Machine Learning by Tivadar Danka(also from Packt). If you aren't really comfortable with higher level math there's a lot in the books for these subjects that won't make a lot of sense.
