All that the reader requires is an understanding of the basics of matrix algebra and calculus. Machine Learning: An Applied Mathematics Introduction covers the essential mathematics behind all of the most important techniques . Chapter list: Introduction (Putting ML into context. Comparing and contrasting with classical mathematical and statistical modelling) General Matters (In one chapter all of the mathematical concepts you'll need to know. From jargon and notation to maximum likelihood, from information theory and entropy to bias and variance, from cost functions to confusion matrices, and more) K Nearest Neighbours K Means Clustering Naïve Bayes Classifier Regression Methods Support Vector Machines Self-Organizing Maps Decision Trees Neural Networks Reinforcement Learning An appendix contains links to data used in the book, and more. The book includes many real-world examples from a variety of fields including finance (volatility modelling) economics (interest rates, inflation and GDP) politics (classifying politicians according to their voting records) business (using CEO speeches to determine stock price movement) biology (recognising flower varieties, and using heights and weights of adults to determine gender) sociology (classifying locations according to crime statistics) gambling (fruit machines and Blackjack) marketing (classifying the members of his own website to see who will subscribe to his magazine) Paul Wilmott brings three decades of experience in education, and his inimitable style, to this, the hottest of subjects. This book is an accessible introduction for anyone who wants to understand the foundations and put the tools into practice. Paul Wilmott has been called “cult derivatives lecturer” by the Financial Times and “financial mathematics guru” by the BBC. Review: Great explaination of machine learning concepts even a layman can grasp - Coming from a non mathematical backround the explanation of each algorithm and idea presented in the book was very easy to grasp (although I got lost when trying to follow the more advanced equations). This book has really improved my understanding on the topic and I am giving it a second read to fully understand all the math. This book is a good choice for a layman who wants to dive head first into the topic and doesn't mind having some of the mathematical principles goes over their head the first run through. Review: Highly recommend - Great resource. It’s like talking to someone one who is just giving you the simple straight answer to what’s going on. This book’s tone and depth is between the buzz word laden “intro to machine learning” books for business people and the “too much math for non majors” textbooks that focus a specific type of machine learning. With that said I use it to gain an intuition and the first layers of mathematical depth to each ML algorithm. I believe that this does not replace a textbook but more of a straightforward companion. Highly recommend. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,031,929 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #364 in Scientific Reference #2,526 in Applied Mathematics (Books) #4,623 in Computer Science (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 229 Reviews | ## Images ![Machine Learning: An Applied Mathematics Introduction - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71reYfWVgeL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great explaination of machine learning concepts even a layman can grasp *by C***B on May 9, 2021* Coming from a non mathematical backround the explanation of each algorithm and idea presented in the book was very easy to grasp (although I got lost when trying to follow the more advanced equations).
