Grokking Deep Learning - i am trask
If you passed high school math and can hack around in Python, I want to teach you Deep Learning. Well folks, I've decided to write a Deep Learning book in the same style as my blog, teaching Deep Learning from an intuitive perspective, all in Python, using only numpy. I wanted to make the lowest possible barrier to entry to learn Deep Learning. The Problem with most entry level Deep Learning resources these days is that they either assume advanced knowledge of Calculus, Linear Algebra, Differential Equations, and perhaps even Convex Optimization, or they just teach a "black box" framework like Torch, Keras, or TensorFlow (where you just hit "train" but you don't actually know what's going on under the hood). Both have their appropriate audience, but I don't believe that either are appropriate for your average python hacker looking for a 101 on the fundamentals.
