This introductory text on Machine Learning provides all the basics a budding Data Scientist or Onlooker from any Application Domain that could use Machine Learning Expertise needs to get started. I've read more than my share of White Papers from Software Companies and would be Consultants seeking to sell a prepackaged solution for Machine Learning and also struggled to understand academic papers with more mathematics and specialized vocabulary than I was able to follow; this book provides both the context for understanding what Machine Learning can do and the basic tools necessary to try Real World Algorithms and Datasets. Yes, it does provide instruction for installing R-Studio and Anaconda Python in all the most common OS environments; but it also provides basic math background in Linear Algebra as well as Statistics, primers in basic programming in R and Python and a selection of the most common Machine Learning Algorithms and code for implemented examples of K-Nearest Neighbors, Classifiers, Neural Nets and Logistic Regression.No you won't learn everything you need to know to get a job as a Machine Learning expert or Data Scientist; but after reading this book and running several of the examples you would be ready to implement small examples with your own Datasets and then learn such application frameworks asTheano, Scikit-Learn, or TensorFlow. The authors also have written an excellent guidebook: "Python for Data Science for Dummies".
