The emphasis of the book is on the question of Why – only if why an algorithm is successful is understood, can it be properly applied, and the results trusted. Algorithms are often taught side by side without showing the similarities and differences between them. This book addresses the commonalities, and aims to give a thorough and in-depth treatment and develop intuition, while remaining concise.
This useful reference should be an essential on the bookshelves of anyone employing machine learning techniques.

"This book aims to present a concise yet rigorous introduction to several basic topics in machine
learning. The concepts and algorithms are comprehensively explained with intuition and illustrative examples in MATLAB, using mathematics as the common language. The focus is on
why and how an algorithm works...this book covers the mathematical foundation, the techniques and applications in machine learning well. It may be useful for readers with some background in mathematics who wish to extend themselves in statistics and machine learning, such as statisticians, graduate and senior undergraduate students."
