Grokking Machine Learning

I am the author of Grokking Machine Learning, a book by Manning Editors. This is a book in which I explain the main algorithms and techniques of supervised learning in a very friendly and intuitive way that doesn’t require heavy mathematics or coding.

The book has code in Python, Numpy, Pandas, Scikit Learn, and PyTorch. You can find it in this repo.
