Machine learning theory made easy.
So, you want to master machine learning. Even though you have experience in the field, sometimes you still feel that something is missing. A look behind the curtain.
Have you ever felt the learning curve to be so sharp that it was too difficult even to start? The theory was so dry and seemingly irrelevant that you were unable to go beyond the basics?
If so, I am building something for you. I am working to create the best resource to study the mathematics of machine learning out there.
Join the early access and be a part of the journey!
Mathematics of
Machine Learning
Math explained, as simple as possible.
Every concept is explained step by step, from elementary to advanced. No fancy tricks and mathematical magic. Intuition and motivation first, technical explanations second.
Open up the black boxes.
Machine learning is full of mysterious black boxes. Looking inside them allows you to be a master of your field and never be in the dark when things go wrong.
Be a part of the process.
This book is being written in public. With early access, you’ll get each chapter as I finish it, with a personal hotline to me. Is something not appropriately explained? Is a concept not motivated with applications? Let me know, and I’ll get right on it!
Who is this book for?
Data scientists.
Machine learning-first approach to mathematics. Master the art of storing, manipulating, and analyzing data.
Engineers and developers.
All the practical knowledge you need to know, with intuitive explanations you wish you had in school.
Students.
Whether it is your first course in mathematics, or refreshing the topic after years: this book is for you.
What the readers say
With great pleasure I can recommend this wonderful book the creation of which I experience every week. You can explore it in pdf, html and jupyter notebooks.
This book is a fantastic resource for those who want to understand the foundations of ML algorithms and are no longer satisfied with considering them as 'black boxes'. BTW with the 'early access' scheme, waiting for the next chapter to be published feels like waiting for your favourite weekly TV show. Nice.
Very impressed with what you’ve done with the book. As someone who’s not an expert in math I found your material super helpful. Thank you!
Being part of early access gives the reader the pleasure to travel with the author. I'm enjoying it thoroughly. Even more excited about what awaits 2 years from now as per your roadmap. I'm sure this will be a gold mine for data science enthusiasts and practitioners.

About the author
Hi there! My name is Tivadar.
I obtained my PhD in 2016 in the field of pure mathematics. As a postdoctoral researcher, I joined a computational biology group, where I fell in love with machine learning.
Understanding mathematics was a cheat code to supercharge my progress.
As I frequently helped my friends and colleagues to master the fundamental concepts of math and machine learning, I found my new passion in teaching.
Since then, education have become my single focus, and my mission is to make quality math education available for developers, engineers, and scientists.
