Algorithms, Worked Examples, and Case Studies (The MIT Press)
by John D. Kelleher
Systematic, course-style introduction to core predictive-machine-learning methods and their evaluation, mixing mathematical description, algorithm sketches, and applied examples. Useful when you need to understand method assumptions, error sources, and how algorithms differ in practice rather than just following copy-paste code. It favors formulas, derivations, and comparative discussion over step-by-step programming walkthroughs, so expect conceptual rigor and fewer runnable examples; readers wanting a light, nontechnical survey or hands-on notebooks will feel it is too formal.

“This book reads like a well-connected technologist’s urgent TED talk, blending personal career story, startup anecdotes, and macro predictions. What works best is a clear, alarm-bell view of China’s rapid AI rise and the coming job displacement, with tangible data and sector breakdowns. You’ll likely find it useful as a conversation starter or trend snapshot. But it often oversimplifies complex geopolitical and ethical tensions into a binary rivalry, and the determined optimism can feel boosterish. The tone may grate if you prefer nuanced, academic treatments or worry about the author’s business interests shaping the narrative.”
