Abstract

In this paper it examines the mathematical principles of the neural networks and how these can be applied to simulate the thoughts of people in computer systems that are expected to be intelligent. Certain significant aspects of the learning process are considered, such as linear algebra (with an emphasis on the operations of vectors and matrices) and calculus techniques such as the differentiation and gradients. The backpropagation technique is discussed in detail as one of the simplest approaches to training neural networks to minimize the error. There are also several optimization techniques including gradient descent and more advanced versions, which are considered to enhance the speed and precision of learning.
