This textbook is meant to summarize the mathematical underpinnings of important machine learning applications and to connect the mathematical topics to their use in machine learning problems.

Mathematics for Machine Learning A collection of resources to learn and review mathematics for machine learning.

Note that this document concerns math background for machine learning, not machine learning itself. We will not discuss specific machine learning models or algorithms except possibly in passing to …

While some people will argue that even this much math is too much, in my humble opinion, knowing this bare minimum will help you understand concepts of machine learning and AI in more depth. It will …

It uses these concepts to derive four central machine learning methods: linear regression, principal component analysis, Gaussian mixture models and support vector machines. For students and …

This self-contained textbook introduces all the relevant mathematical concepts needed to understand and use machine learning methods, with a minimum of prerequisites.
