This title is printed to order. This book may have been self-published. If so, we cannot guarantee the quality of the content. In the main most books will have gone through the editing process however some may not. We therefore suggest that you be aware of this before ordering this book. If in doubt check either the author or publisher’s details as we are unable to accept any returns unless they are faulty. Please contact us if you have any questions.
Mastering AI, machine learning, and data science often means piecing together concepts scattered across countless resources, statistics, and visualizations to foundational models and large language models. This book, the result of eight years of effort, brings it all together in one accessible, engaging package. It clarifies artificial intelligence and data science, blending core mathematical principles with a clear, reader-friendly approach.
Unlike traditional textbooks that lean heavily on equations and mathematical formalization, the author starts with minimal prerequisites, layering deeper math as the reader progresses. Each concept, algorithm, or model is unpacked through clear, hands-on examples that build the reader's skills step by step. It strikes a balance between theoretical foundations and practical application, serving as both an academic reference and a practical guide.
Furthermore, the book uses humor, casual language, and comics to make the challenging concepts and topics relatable and fun. Any resemblance between the jokes and real life is pure coincidence, and no offense is intended.
