HankYeomans · x · 2026-08-08
Recommends a freely available 600-page textbook, Introduction to Machine Learning. The book builds a strong mathematical foundation, starting with linear algebra, calculus, probability, and optimization.
It covers core supervised learning methods like linear/logistic regression, decision trees, and neural networks. A significant portion is dedicated to probabilistic and generative methods (Monte Carlo, Bayesian networks, VAEs, GANs), concluding with clustering, PCA, manifold learning, and generalization bounds.
