Want to learn deep learning and AI, but hate math? This book is an experiment for me. After years of teaching successful deep learning and machine learning courses online, I’ve come to notice a few patterns. One of them is that a large subset of students just RUN AWAY at the sight of math. This is somewhat problematic since machine learning is essentially applied math (e.g. instead of just writing down equations you’re programming the equations into a computer in order to perform some useful task).
This book is an experiment to see how well students can learn some of the basic concepts in deep learning, without having to do any math or theoretical work. If you are a programmer that wants to learn deep learning by taking the “API approach”, then this book is perfect for you. I have courses totaling over 100 hours of math, algorithms, and theory. If that’s what you’re looking for, this is not it. In this book, we’re going to learn how to solve practical problems using deep learning in Python and Keras, without having to do any math beyond basic arithmetic.
