This is an introductory book on Machine Learning. There is quite a lot of mathematics and statistics in the book, which I like. A large number of methods and algorithms are introduced:
Neural Networks
Bayesian Learning
Genetic Algorithms
Reinforcement Learning
The material covered is very interesting and clearly explained. I find the presentation, however, a bit lacking. I think it has to do with the chosen fonts and lack of highlighting of important terms. Maybe it would have been better to show more have shorter paragraphs too.
If you are looking for an introductory book on machine learning right now, I would not recommend this book, because in recent years better books have been written on the subject. These are better obviously, because they include coverage of more modern techniques. I give this book 3 out of 5 stars. show less

There is no math in this book. Why is there no math in this book!?
