Understanding Neural Networks Simplified

In the first chapter of the Deep Learning series by 3Blue1Brown, the video “But what is a neural network?” explores the fundamentals of neural networks, focusing on neurons, layers, and the mathematics behind them. The host emphasizes the importance of understanding the structure of neural networks before diving into how they learn, using the example of recognizing handwritten digits. The video aims to demystify neural networks by breaking down their components and functions, making complex concepts accessible to viewers without a technical background.
