TensorFlow in a Nutshell -- Part One: Basics – Camron Godbout – Medium

TensorFlow is a framework created by Google for creating Deep Learning models. Deep Learning is a category of machine learning models that use multi-layer neural networks. The idea of deep learning has been around since 1943 when neurophysiologist Warren McCulloch and mathematician Walter Pitts wrote a paper on how neurons might work and they modeled a simple neural network using electrical circuits. Many, many developments have occurred since then. These highly accurate mathematical models are extremely computationally expensive.
