ML PhD student seeks math resources for research foundations

A PhD student in machine learning is seeking recommendations for resources to strengthen their mathematical foundations, particularly in linear algebra, probability theory, and functional analysis. The student is considering "Linear Algebra Done Right" for linear algebra and has found "A Primer on RKHS" helpful for functional analysis, though they find Rudin's books challenging. They are also looking into "The Bright Side of Mathematics" YouTube channel and plan to revisit the PRML book and Pat Kidger's "Just Know Stuff" list. AI
