Thank you for your reply.

I'm a Lisper (used Common Lisp, Racket/Scheme, and Clojure) and a math graduate student, and am interested in learning more about ML and DL so that I could potentially use them in research in the future, to come up with constructions and counter-examples, so I may have some time in my hand. I have always been a fan of Dan Friedman, so I'm definitely thinking about getting this book.

I found out that fast.ai seems to be of this approach that you mentioned. Since you are an educator, if I'm interested in learning more about ML and DL (as well as the math behind and implementation), which book(s) would you recommend me to study (I have some experience with Andrew Ng's coursera course many years ago)? I did some research here and people seem to recommend different books...

Thank you!
