This textbook is intended for students of mathematics who have completed the foundational courses of their undergraduate studies and now want to specialize in Data Science and Machine Learning. It introduces the reader to the most important topics in the latter areas focusing on rigorous proofs and a systematic understanding of the underlying ideas.
The textbook comes with 121 classroom-tested exercises. Topics covered include k -nearest neighbors, linear and logistic regression, clustering, best-fit subspaces, principal component analysis, dimensionality reduction, collaborative filtering, perceptron, support vector machines, the kernel method, gradient descent and neural networks.

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
This eBook uses Watermark-DRM, a „soft” copy protection. This means that there are no technical restrictions to prevent illegal distribution. However, there is a personalised watermark embedded in the eBook that can be used to identify the purchaser of the eBook in the event of misuse and to provide evidence for legal purposes.
