“I am reading Grokking Machine Learning with great pleasure. The explanations are clear.
I proceed as follows : I read a few pages. I try to understand what I read. When I do not immediately grasp it, I reread the pages. When I understand everything, I continue to read the next pages. Like a novel, that you read in pieces.”

I want to understand all kinds of subjects.
