…website. There is Julia and Python code companions for the book and lecture slides from both Profs their websites. Also check out their other books, many of which have free PDF's available. I can also recommend Data-Driven science and engineering by Brunton and Kutz. http://databookuw.com/ There used to be a free preprint PDF of the book but I can't find it now. Book is totally worth picking up... MATLAB and Python code available. Steve Brunton's…
on “A 2020 Vision of Linear Algebra” ↗I really like the Control System Bootcamp videos by Prof. Steve Brunton on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pi7l8mMjYVE&list=PLMrJAkhIeN... Good book's to accompany the videos are: - linear systems theory by Joao Hespanha (has some MATLAB code) - Linear state-space control systems by Willams and Lawrence (has some MATLAB code) - Control system design by Bernard Friedland (20 usd dover pap
on “Introduction to Model Predictive Control” ↗…YouTuber besides 3B1B as is mentioned all over the comments, I really really like Steve Brunton at UW. I can't believe how much I've learned from his presentations on YouTube which led me to his book 'Data-Driven Science And Engineering' with J. Nathan Kurtz. Excellent book and excellent YouTube videos. http://www.databookuw.com/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCm5mt-A4w61lknZ9lCsZtBw
on “Ask HN: Best beginner friendly linear algebra book?” ↗Steve Brunton has some amazing videos on Wavelets on his Youtube Channel that are intended to be consumed alongside his book Data Driven Science and Engineering, but I found that they work great as standalone material as well.

Might not be a bad idea to start with a Python-based, practical RL book and move from practical demonstrations towards theory.
