However, be warned, it has a lot of maths If you are able to get through it, you will get a very good foundational knowledge on ML. If theory is not your cup of tea, another way to approach ML is to just implement it and learn as you go. You don't need to get a PhD in ML to start implementing it. This is the philosophy behind Jeremy Howard's and Rachel Thomas's http://www.fast.ai. They take you through the implementation steps and introduce you to the theory on a need to know basis, in essence you are doing a top down approach. I am still a few lessons away from finishing the fast.ai
