I want to improve my RL foundations so I can understand research papers better and eventually do research myself. I’m also looking to buy a physical book since I find it much easier to study that way.

Which would you recommend: Sutton Barto, Mathematical Foundations of Reinforcement Learning, or a different one?

I know Sutton Barto is considered the RL bible, but I started with the Mathematical Foundations YouTube course and really liked how well the professor explains the math.

I’m mainly interested in robotics applications, with games as a secondary interest.
