Dynamically, I haven’t read Neapolitan’s book, but judging by the table of contents, it’s more directed toward people who just want to use the algorithms and less at people who want a really deep understanding of why they work, where they come from, what the meaning is, and why these algorithms and no others. Read Pearl’s book first.
