Ask HN: Maths book for software engineers who want to learn Machine Learning?

3 pointsby aliakhtaralmost 9 years ago
Is there a maths book which is aimed at software engineers who don't have much of a maths background, and which is aimed at teaching only the concepts of maths which are needed for machine learning / AI work (e.g calculus, linear algebra, etc)?

Here is a list of top 16 machine learning books aimed at the data scientist (not what you asked but there is a short description with each book). These books are used by universities like Stanford, Caltech, MIT, Harvard, etc.<p>And just to make sure that you are aware of it, there are lots of opencourseware with lecture notes and videos.<p>Caltech&#x2F;Yaser Abu-Mostafa book info + lecture video at <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;work.caltech.edu&#x2F;telecourse.html" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;work.caltech.edu&#x2F;telecourse.html</a><p>Stanford&#x2F;Andrew Ng for course info see <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;cs229.stanford.edu&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;cs229.stanford.edu&#x2F;</a> for video lectures see <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.coursera.org&#x2F;learn&#x2F;machine-learning" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.coursera.org&#x2F;learn&#x2F;machine-learning</a>
