Another amazing book from Hastie/Efron. The ISLR book was my first foray into ML and landed me my current job. Will be sure to devour this one as well!

Can you specify which book you mean, when you say "ISLR"? Thanks!

This one: http://www-bcf.usc.edu/~gareth/ISL/

Not to be confused with this one: https://web.stanford.edu/~hastie/ElemStatLearn/ (a.k.a. ESL)

For those who know, How does this book differ from Foundations of Data Science by Blum/Hopcroft/Kannan ? http://www.cs.cornell.edu/jeh/book%20June%2014,%202017pdf.pd... ?

comparing the contents the efron hastie book is something like the "gentle introduction to ___" books you see in math. as opposed to the hopcroft book which i've had on my digital shelf for a while now - it's no joke wrt mathematical maturity and depth.
