Why we included this project

The Watermelon Book, Zhou Zhihua's widely used machine learning textbook, leaves many formula derivations to the reader. This companion project works through those skipped steps, assuming only an undergraduate math background and pushing anything more advanced into appendices. The authors describe it as their own study notes, which gives the writing a practical, unpolished feel. It follows the textbook chapter by chapter, so you can look up the exact equation that is tripping you up. A video series and a printed edition are available if you prefer other formats.
