Could someone recomend a "good" book at a moderate level which
provides a mathemetical framework for computational/"non-AI"
learning, covering the implications from statistics/cybernetics/
thermodynamics/etc.?  These and undoubtedly many other fields seem
to provide the theoretical core for this field of research. (?)

I would greatly appreciate any assistance.  (BTW) Does anyone know the
scope, depth, or quality of Nils Nilsson's "Mathemetical Foundations of
Learning Machines" (Morgan Kaufmann) ???

Many Thanks,
