Chapter 4: Single Layer Artificial Neural Network (ANNs)
Chapter Introduce readers to ANNs, it's uses, the math that powers the model, as well as discussing its limitations
No of 10

Chapter 5: Deep Neural Networks (Multi-layer ANNs)
Chapter Establish the difference between single and multilayer ANNs as well as discuss the nuances that are created as a product of having multiple hidden layers
No of 10



Chapter 6: Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs)
Chapter Build upon the knowledge of neural networks described earlier and begin to branch in the other models, such as CNNs. Here, we will establish what a convolutional layer is, in addition to what the uses of this model are, such as computer vision and processing visual data.

This is probably the worst textbook I have ever had the displeasure of reading, and I gave up on page 30. It is just awful. The language is horrible and the math is plain and simply wrong more often than not. If you write about linear algebra and you are incapable of defining addition and subtraction for vectors or multiplication on matrices -- and your examples would never make it through a computer, despite the title mentioning a language that does support linear algebra, because you get the dimensions wrong in more than half the cases -- then you just shouldn't be writing about linear algebra.

No, this book is just horrible.

I don't trust for a second that any of the material that might be new to me in later chapters would be correct if all the simple stuff, that I do know quite well, is wrong more often than not.

If you are interested in a laugh, though, please do read the mathematical review in chapter 2. I'll sell you my copy of the book if you are quick. But you have to be quick because at some point I will be out of kindling and then I can find a use for this piece of...

Although the book covers different good methods, the language and organization of the book is not well and there are several mistakes in formulae.
