Neural Networks A Classroom Approach By Satish Kumar.pdf [TESTED]

Buy the hardcover or PDF. Keep a notebook and a pencil nearby. Work through every derivation in Chapter 4 (Backpropagation). If you do that, you will know more about neural networks than 80% of people who claim to "do AI." Have you read Satish Kumar’s book? Did it help you survive your neural networks course?

When you read Kumar, you can almost hear a professor pacing in front of a blackboard. He anticipates your confusion. Just when you think, "Wait, how did they jump from Step 2 to Step 5?" — Kumar stops and explains the derivation line by line. He doesn't skip the algebra. Let’s be honest: You cannot understand backpropagation without partial derivatives. You cannot understand Hopfield networks without energy functions.
