i would say "ISLP",Im currently in the 8th chapter of this book and let me tell you its worth it my advice is to supplement it with real hands on practice each 2 chapter

Here is my notes while studying the book : https://github.com/0xHadyy/isl-python

keep in mind i added some more depth and derivations since i enjoy the theory, Good luck !

I started learning. My math is not strong. But theory part I could somehow continue. Its the exercise problems which are slowing me down and finding no interest to do them, in 5th chapter now. What were difficult parts for you?
