For CS and Artificial Intelligence

• Mathematics for Machine Learning

  • Books for Machine Learning mathematics:

  - https://mml-book.github.io/ — mathematics for machine learning, focuses on linear algebra, analytical geometry as a foundation part, second half of the book includes central machine learning problems such as support vector machines and linear regression. Free to use & download
  - http://cs229.stanford.edu/section/cs229-linalg.pdf  http://cs229.stanford.edu/section/cs229-prob.pdf — lecture notes from the machine learning Stanford course. The first PDF is focused on linear algebra, the second on probability theory. These are meant as a review/reference point, not as an in-depth explanation
  - https://gwthomas.github.io/docs/math4ml.pdf — another book focused on mathematics needed for ML
  - https://probabilitycourse.com/ — free book on probability and statistics, considered by the people on the internets to be quite rigorous but not too theoretical (Note: only the online version is free)
  

  • Video/Interactive resources:

  - www.khanacademy.org — video lectures and exercises for a wide variety of mathematics from arithmetic to calculus
  - 3Blue1Brown (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL0-GT3co4r2y2YErbmuJw2L5tW4Ew2O5B) — the playlist linked is for linear algebra, his videos are good also for calculus and statistics. Easy way of explaining and highly regarded by communities online, also has deep learning videos from what I remember
  - https://seeing-theory.brown.edu/#firstPage — a visual approach to learning probability and statistics
  - https://www.ck12.org/student/ — like khan academy but the resources are mostly written
  

  • Other/Misc:

   - https://web.evanchen.cc/napkin.html
   - https://notendur.hi.is/vae11/%C3%9Eekking/principles_of_mathematical_analysis_walter_rudin.pdf — good for mathematical analysis, used by maths undergrad/postgrads
   - http://www.wallace.ccfaculty.org/book/Beginning_and_Intermediate_Algebra.pdf — Algebra 1 & 2 for people struggling with Linear Algebra
   - https://www.reddit.com/r/learnmath/comments/8p922p/list_of_websites_ebooks_downloads_etc_for_mobile/ — huge resource list for free/paid ebooks
