I would recommend the reinforcement only book by certain in part oh there's a beautiful book if there's any problem with the book it makes our L feel and look much easier than it actually is it's very gentle book it's very nice to read the exercises do you can very quickly you know get some aerial systems to run.

And Rich Sutton, who's the father of reinforcement learning, he literally wrote the textbook. You can get the second version off his website even today.
His textbook on reinforcement learning was ranked as the single most influential publication in all of computer science.
One of the things I read was Saturn Umberto the sort of seminal tech spec ar an introduction to reinforcement learning.

Why people recommend it
Reinforcement Learning by Richard S. Sutton and Andrew G. Barto is the seminal textbook on machine learning that introduces the foundational algorithms, concepts, and history of computational reinforcement learning. The book has received high praise and recommendations on the Lex Fridman Podcast, where host Lex Fridman and guest Marcus Hutter both endorsed it as an exceptional and gentle introduction to the field. Hutter noted that while the text makes reinforcement learning appear remarkably intuitive and accessible, it provides readers with the necessary exercises to quickly grasp complex concepts. David Silver also discussed reading Sutton and Barto's foundational text when recounting his early academic journey into artificial intelligence. On the a16z Podcast, Cameron Schuler highlighted Richard Sutton as the pioneering father of reinforcement learning who literally wrote the definitive textbook on the subject. Schuler noted that according to citation metrics, Sutton's textbook stands as one of the single most influential and widely cited publications in all of computer science. Across these podcast episodes, experts celebrate the book not only as an essential educational tool for students and engineers entering artificial intelligence, but also as the theoretical bedrock that enabled major technological breakthroughs like AlphaGo and modern deep reinforcement learning systems.
