Neural Nets Basics

Ajay Shenoy · July 2026 · placeholder

A neural network is a stack of simple functions that, together, can approximate almost anything. This lesson is a placeholder for the basics: layers, weights, and activations.

What's coming

  • Neurons, layers, and the forward pass.
  • Activation functions and why nonlinearity is the whole point.
  • Why depth matters, and what it costs to train.
