Elements of Causal Inference: Foundations and Learning Algorithms
by J. Peters, D. Janzing, B. Schölkopf
Publisher: The MIT Press 2017
ISBN-13: 9780262037310
Number of pages: 289
Description:
This book offers a self-contained and concise introduction to causal models and how to learn them from data. After explaining the need for causal models and discussing some of the principles underlying causal inference, the book teaches readers how to use causal models: how to compute intervention distributions, how to infer causal models from observational and interventional data, and how causal ideas could be exploited for classical machine learning problems.

The Hundred-Page Machine Learning Book
by Andriy Burkov
This is the first successful attempt to write an easy to read book on machine learning that isn't afraid of using math. It's also the first attempt to squeeze a wide range of machine learning topics in a systematic way and without loss in quality.

Optimal and Learning Control for Autonomous Robots
by Jonas Buchli, et al. - arXiv.org
The starting point is the formulation of of an optimal control problem and deriving the different types of solutions and algorithms from there. These lecture notes aim at supporting this unified view with a unified notation wherever possible.
