What people on Hacker News said
All proofs have a constructive bias, so it's very algorithmic and natural for a CS-minded student.
It's a rigorous but chatty textbook in the style of Spivak but written by someone who is sensitive to applied maths.
I would not have survived my astrophysics classes without it.
written somewhat from the point of view that these subjects are better presented interleaved than as a self-contained book.
Thick, but after this book you ll be well prepared to ML.
