The Berkeley webcast* Introduction to Statistics, uses "Statistics, Fourth Edition" by Freeman. I don't know what the differences are, but I think it's mostly for the exercises involved.

If you have at least some coding experience and you are interested in the practical aspects of ML/DL (i.e., you want to learn the how-to, not the why or the whence), my recommendation is to start with the fast.ai courses by Jeremy Howard (co-author of this "Matrix Calculus" cheat sheet) and Rachel Thomas[a]:

* fast.ai ML course: http://forums.fast.ai/t/another-treat-early-access-to-intro-...

* fast.ai DL course: part 1: http://course.fast.ai/ part 2: http://course.fast.ai/part2.html

The fast.ai courses spend very little time on theory, and you can follow the videos at your own pace.

Books:

* The best books on ML (excluding DL), in my view, are "An Introduction to Statistical Learning" by James, Witten, Hastie and Tibshirani, and "The Elements of Statistical Learning" by Hastie, Tibshirani and Friedman. The Elements arguably belongs on every ML practitioner's bookshelf -- it's a fantastic reference manual.[b]

* The only book on DL that I'm aware of is "Deep Learning," by Goodfellow, Bengio and Courville. It's a good book, but I suggest holding off on reading it until you've had a chance to experiment with a range of deep learning models. Otherwise, you will get very little useful out of it.[c]

Good luck!

Some suggestions (from HN over various threads)

Practical Foundations of Mathematics http://www.cs.man.ac.uk/~pt/Practical_Foundations/index.html

Linear Algebra - Gilbert Strang (Book & Videos)

Linear Algebra and Applications http://www.math.unl.edu/~tshores1/linalgtext.html

P.S. There was another Introduction to Statistics book that I am not able to find the link for.
