Andriy Burkov The Hundred-Page Machine Learning Book

I am a materials engineer and this book helped me a lot to quickly understand the concepts of machine learning with a very basic knowledge. I am very grateful to have come across this book. While I was working on my Master's thesis on a topic related to computer vision, the book was very accessible thanks to its clear explanations and helped me to quickly get into my topic. It also proved to be directly applicable to my professional work. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn more about machine learning and also to professionals in the field who want a reference book. Thank you Andriy for this great book!

Es uno de los mejores libros que he visto a nivel principiante. Es importante que el objetivo del libro no es que tengas horas experiencia práctica al terminar de leerlo, sino dar un "panorama general" del Machine Learning, cosa que el autor hace de forma magistral.

So succinct and doesn't skip the math on anything. An intro to ML but has something for everyone to learn. Great to keep on the shelf at home or work for reference

I'd say no one book or course is adequate for mastering Machine Learning, but this book is really helpful! It may not cover all aspects in great detail, but it does touch all the important points and with admirable clarity. The book is like a structured learning guide, based on which we can get a baseline understanding, and then go elsewhere to pick up more details as needed. I use it in conjunction with half a dozen other machine learning books and online courses. I love this book!

If I was going to make a list of essential books in this domain it would include Deep Learning (Goodfellow et alia), AIMA (Norvig et alia), ISL/ESL (James et alia), and then work through Fast.ai on the side to get your hands dirty. Now here's the newcomer, highly recommended by the other authors in the above list: The Hundred-Page Machine Learning Book (Burkov) - basic math refresher and overview of the field, brilliant and new. Burkov has a growing interactive website and community, is actively on reddit doing AMAs, and is continuously allowing his source material to evolve, as it should in this field! Top notch resource. He links to more advanced resources in the different topics he introduces for the student who wishes to excel. I have a degree in mathematics, and I recommend this book to interested readers with any level of prior knowledge.
