The Art of Reinforcement Learning Fundamentals Mathematics and Implementations with Python In this book, we explore the fundamental concepts and techniques of reinforcement learning and their implementation in Python. We delve into the mathematical underpinnings of reinforcement learning and its practical applications in various domains. The book is designed for both beginners and advanced learners who want to gain a deeper understanding of the field and develop practical skills in implementing reinforcement learning algorithms. The book begins by introducing the basic concepts of reinforcement learning, including the Markov decision process, Q-values, and policy gradients. We then move on to more advanced topics such as deep reinforcement learning, actor-critic methods, and off-policy learning. Throughout the book, we emphasize the importance of understanding the underlying mathematics of reinforcement learning to appreciate its power and limitations. To help readers apply their knowledge, we provide numerous examples and exercises using Python programming language. Our goal is to empower readers to use reinforcement learning to solve real-world problems and contribute to the ongoing evolution of technology.
