How would you recommend Sheldon Ross' A First Course In Probability for the purpose mentioned in the title? (i.e. to be of significant use while studying machine learning)
An advice book on Linear Algebra & Statistics & whatever it takes to understand or think Machine Learning is also sought. Have a very little idea of above topics & I'm going to redo everything mentioned above by myself. So will you try to advise on study plan (kinda), too?
Thank you.

There is a marvelous book: The Elements of Statistical Learning: Data Mining, Inference, and Prediction, Second Edition (Springer Series in Statistics). I believe you'll get what you need in first instance.
