>>13160805To add to this: there are so many concepts in this book that I saw in more involved probability theory books that just flew over my head initially, but now I have a pretty solid intuitive understanding of them thanks to this book. I honestly feel pretty confident in getting back into "real" probability theory pretty soon here once I finish this book and have a better understanding of the basics, but is there any reason I shouldn't just go straight into ML/PCA/modern statistics right after this?
