About this ebook
A rich, narrative explanation of the mathematics that has brought us machine learning and the ongoing explosion of artificial intelligence
Machine learning systems are making life-altering decisions for us: approving mortgage loans, determining whether a tumor is cancerous, or deciding if someone gets bail. They now influence developments and discoveries in chemistry, biology, and physics—the study of genomes, extrasolar planets, even the intricacies of quantum systems. And all this before large language models such as ChatGPT came on the scene.
We are living through a revolution in machine learning-powered AI that shows no signs of slowing down. This technology is based on relatively simple mathematical ideas, some of which go back centuries, including linear algebra and calculus, the stuff of seventeenth- and eighteenth-century mathematics. It took the birth and advancement of computer science and the kindling of 1990s computer chips designed for video games to ignite the explosion of AI that we see today. In this enlightening book, Anil Ananthaswamy explains the fundamental math behind machine learning, while suggesting intriguing links between artificial and natural intelligence. Might the same math underpin them both?
As Ananthaswamy resonantly concludes, to make safe and effective use of artificial intelligence, we need to understand its profound capabilities and limitations, the clues to which lie in the math that makes machine learning possible.

Why Machines Learn by Anil Ananthaswamy is a great book; here's why:
The book's pattern is that each chapter starts with a relevant story, an overview, some math foundations, and valuable examples. There are many equations, ~1000, but stick with it. Ignore Stephen Hawking's advice: "Someone told me that each equation I included in the book would halve the sales." An interested high school student can work through the book; Anil has exceptional explanations and examples.
My first pass through the book took a month; now, I want to do a second pass using Mathematica to build the equations into a framework. As Feynman said, "I understand what I build." I used a hybrid approach, listening to the book while making notes in a printed copy. This worked well for me, as I didn't want to skip anything.
The author brings out the personalities behind ML beyond the popular science level; their equations also speak for them. Humor throughout: "In high dimensional space, no one can hear you scream." Julie Delon
Favorites:
Story - Al-Hazen & vision science
Math - Optimization & Lagrange Multipliers
Concept 2nd descent of bias-variance curve

I wish the second half of the book had more examples. The author could expand the last chapters and epilogue into another book. There are good references and a helpful index. A bibliography and suggestions on What's Next would be beneficial.
This book has inspired me to delve deeper into understanding ML; I want to comprehend the changes ML brings to our world. Anil has helped me bootstrap myself.
