{"product_id":"9781138492530","title":"Data Science and Machine Learning : Mathematical and Statistical Methods by Alice Y.C. Te","description":"\"This textbook is a well-rounded, rigorous, and informative work presenting the mathematics behind modern machine learning techniques. It hits all the right notes: the choice of topics is up-to-date and perfect for a course on data science for mathematics students at the advanced undergraduate or early graduate level. This book fills a sorely-needed gap in the existing literature by not sacrificing depth for breadth, presenting proofs of major theorems and subsequent derivations, as well as providing a copious amount of Python code. I only wish a book like this had been around when I first began my journey!\" -Nicholas Hoell, University of Toronto\"This is a well-written book that provides a deeper dive into data-scientific methods than many introductory texts. The writing is clear, and the text logically builds up regularization, classification, and decision trees. Compared to its probable competitors, it carves out a unique niche. -Adam Loy, Carleton CollegeThe purpose of Data Science and Machine Learning: Mathematical and Statistical Methods is to provide an accessible, yet comprehensive textbook intended for students interested in gaining a better understanding of the mathematics and statistics that underpin the rich variety of ideas and machine learning algorithms in data science.   Key Features:Focuses on mathematical understanding.   Presentation is self-contained, accessible, and comprehensive.   Extensive list of exercises and worked-out examples.   Many concrete algorithms with Python code.   Full color throughout.
