Mathematics of Machine Learning official release announcement!

Yes, there will be a physical version

Four years ago, I started a project that turned out to be life-altering, and it has just passed a huge milestone.

I'm happy to announce that my Mathematics of Machine Learning book will soon be published by Packt Publishing! Yes, there will be a physical version, and you can pre-order it right now! The paperback version is $39.99, which is a heavily discounted price. (The final price will be $59.99 after publication, expected in May.)

I started the book in early 2021, right after losing my life savings on a startup I co-founded. (We have made every single textbook mistake.) To recharge my batteries, I started writing about the only two topics I really understood: mathematics and machine learning.

First, there were a couple of educational posts about the expected value or the mean-squared error. Writing those posts has been the most fun I had in years, and you liked them, too. So, I wrote some more. And some more.

It was not long before I realized I had written the first couple of chapters…
