    This textbook does an excellent job developing the mathematics and providing intuition behind SVMs
  

*by E***K on Reviewed in the United States on August 3, 2015*

This textbook does an excellent job developing the mathematics and providing intuition behind SVMs. That being said, This textbook assumes you have a firm grasp on vector calculus and linear algebra. Chapters 1 and 2 provide a good overview of how machine learning can be used in classification and linear regression. Chapter 5 is an overview of what is covered in most introductory multivariate calculus classes. However, chapter 3 and chapter 4 are not easy. If you lack a background in real analysis you can read the first four or five pages of each chapter and get a basic idea of what is being discussed. Some of the proofs  could use a bit more explanation, but at the same time they are mathematically rigorous and  concise.Lastly, the author makes mention that you can read the book out of order.  Here's the order that I read: chapter 1, chapter 2, chapter 5, chapter 3, chapter 6, chapter 4, chapter 8, and then chapter 7. I think this order gave me enough background information  and  motivated me to delve into the mathematical theory. I just want finish up by saying that if you're looking for a support vector implementation guide this is certainly not for you.

    More for mathematicians than computer scientist
  

*by S***A on Reviewed in the United States on September 20, 2006*

This book introduces the concepts of kernel-based methods and focuses specifically on Support Vector Machines (SVM). It is hard to read and a good background in mathematic is clearly needed. The book has a strong emphasis on SVM starting from the very first line of text. Concepts are well explained, although equations are not clear. The notation doesn't facilitate the reading at all. The book covers linear as well as kernel learning. The kernel trick is well described. It is easy to understand ideas behind SVM while reading the corresponding chapter. Finally a small chapter on SVM applications is proposed. Unfortunately, it only contains typical SVM applications (i.e. standard problems).I think this book is good if you:  * Have a strong mathematical background  * Work in the specific domain of SVM (or kernel-based methods in general)  * Want to write a research paper about SVM and need the correct notationsHowever, this book is NOT intended for people who:  * Don't like to read theorems, corollaries and remarks  * Are not interested in reading hundreds of proofsThis is my personal opinion as a computer scientist: this book is definitely written for mathematicians.
