Introduction To Deep Learning – Good Audience

I took a Deep Learning course through The Bradfield School of Computer Science in June. This series is a journal about what I learned in class, and what I've learned since. This is the first article in this series, and is is about the recommended preparation for the Deep Learning course and what we learned in the first class. Although normally the "prework" comes before the introduction, I'm going to give the 30,000 foot view of the fields of artificial intelligence, machine learning, and deep learning at the top. I have found that this context can really help us understand why the prerequisites seem so broad, and help us study just the essentials. Besides, the history and landscape of artificial intelligence is interesting, so lets dive in!
