I would reserve GAs (at least in their naive form) as a last-resort option. They are extremely inefficient solutions because it doesn't exploit any structure in the problem. Essentially, a GA solution consists of: 1. Select a random point(s

I find that at a practical level, linear algebra and probability/stochastic processes are the most valuable and heavily used topics in machine learning. For Linear algebra, i'd recommend Gilbert Strang's book+his MIT OCW lectures. Check out

Really? I find it hard to understand why <em>anyone</em> would consider the idea of life extension as taboo. Wouldn't it be safe to assume that almost everyone, irrespective of your religious or other inclinations, desire to

Usually, algorithms/data structures are the second course in a CS sequence. If you can code simple programs, you need nothing more than high-school math to be able to work through Skiena's book. Other than that, i would suggest practicing o

Digital communications by Bernard Sklar. A close second is Wayne Tomasi's book. Both books provide great intuition into the matter with just about the right detail. Once you have both of those down (and have the requisite linear algebra / p
