Grokking Machine Learning, 2nd Edition

Author: Luis G. Serrano

Publisher: Manning Publications, 2026

Description: A thoroughly updated second edition of this widely praised introduction to machine learning, now expanded to cover the foundations underpinning modern generative AI systems including neural networks, transformers, and the mathematical concepts behind large language models. Serrano’s signature approach — building intuition through visual explanation and concrete examples before introducing formalism — makes this one of the most accessible entry points to understanding how GenAI systems actually work. Ideal for practitioners who want genuine understanding rather than a surface-level survey.
