Hi Reader, the response to my new Machine Learning book has been outstanding! 🤩 My goal with this book is to reach as many people as possible, which is why I’ve made it free to read online as well as keeping the paperback and ebook prices as low as possible.

Do you have a personal contact at any bootcamp or university where...
