Question

Neural networks

How to study neural networks effectively? I'm interested in your experience
in mathematics, I know a lot: derivative, trigonometry, integral, differentiation, logarithms, limits, some statistics, combinatorics, probability theory, and of course linear algebra,
How to study neural networks to create bots in games, or simple neural networks for recognizing objects in an image?

Answer 1

A neural network is simply a function of many variables. Therefore, ideally, one should understand very well how these functions are arranged. I advise you to watch the first and second semesters of calculus. But of course this is ideal. If you begin to feel that a pure matan will kill you, then it is better to take courses on the stepik , and perceive the entire mathematical base as magical pollen.
