In particular, this book was designed and written as preparation for students planning to take rigorous Machine Learning and Data Mining courses. It introduces key conceptual tools necessary for data analysis, including concentration of measure and PAC bounds, cross validation, gradient descent, and principal component analysis. It also surveys basic techniques in supervised (regression and classification) and unsupervised learning (dimensionality reduction and clustering) through an accessible, simplified presentation. Students are recommended to have some background in calculus, probability, and linear algebra. Some familiarity with programming and algorithms is useful to understand advanced topics on computational techniques UR - https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/bfm:978-3-030-62341-8/1 UR - https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/57190260-mathematical-foundations-for-data-analysis?ref=nav_sb_ss_1_13#CommunityReviews ER -
