A new session of Andrew Ng's Machine Learning class (a version of his Stanford class) starts at Coursera on Monday. It's a quite manageable introduction to the field, with some hands-on programming involved. There's just the right mix of math and theory in there, with some refresher material for some of the math. It's as good a place to start as any, and the benefit of a scheduled class is that you'll have a community doing the same work at the same time to help you out. https://www.coursera.org/learn/machine-learning/ https://www.coursera.org/learn/machine-learning/
