Machine Learning from scratch: Bare bones implementations in Python

Would you suggest any books/resources to learn the theory behind these implementations so a newbie can follow along?

Pattern recognition and machine learning by Bishop is one of the canonical text books. It helps to have a linear algebra background, it includes a refresher though

Bishop is good but reads a little too much like a literature review sometimes. That may or may not be a problem depending on what you are looking for.

How does that compare to Andrew Ng's course?

I can recommend Applied Predictive Modeling by Max Kuhn: http://appliedpredictivemodeling.com/

This one is interesting to see the "statistical" other side of the industry vs machine-learning people. For example I don't think gradient descent is used once in that book.

This book as a prerequisite to anyone who wants to get into machine learning imo.

While a great book, most of this is just implementations of sklearn.
