Numerical Machine Learning

Numerical Machine Learning is a simple textbook on machine learning that bridges the gap between mathematics theory and practice. The book uses numerical examples with small datasets and simple Python codes to provide a complete walkthrough of the underlying mathematical steps of seven commonly used machine learning algorithms and techniques, including linear regression, regularization, logistic regression, decision trees, gradient boosting, Support Vector Machine, and K-means Clustering.

Through a step-by-step exploration of concrete numerical examples, the students (primarily undergraduate and graduate students studying machine learning) can develop a well-rounded understanding of these algorithms, gain an in-depth knowledge of how the mathematics relates to the implementation and performance of the algorithms, and be better equipped to apply them to practical problems.
