This book is an introduction to machine learning, and it assumes no prior knowledge of this field. The first goal of this book is to teach you what machine learning is and what its applications are. The second goal of this book is to teach you how to practice machine learning: how to create models, how to test them, and how to use them. The final goal of this book is to give you an understanding of how machine learning works and the functioning of the methods and algorithms that power it.

This book is written in computational essay style, which is a “show, don’t tell” approach that alternates between text and simple computations
