This book aims to provide a mathematical but friendly introduction to the fundamentalconcepts, basic problems, and classic algorithms in reinforcement learning. Some essentialfeatures of this book are highlighted as follows. The book introduces reinforcement learning from a mathematical point of view. Hopefully, readers will not only know the procedure of an algorithm but also understandwhy the algorithm was designed in the first place and why it works effectively. The depth of the mathematics is carefully controlled to an adequate level. The mathematics is also presented in a carefully designed manner to ensure that the book isfriendly to read. Readers can read the materials presented in gray boxes selectivelyaccording to their interests. Many illustrative examples are given to help readers better understand the topics. Allthe examples in this book are based on a grid world task, which is easy to understandand helpful for illustrating concepts and algorithms. When introducing an al
