Introduction to Natural and Artificial Neural Networks. A Neural Net Structure. Teaching the networks. Functioning of a Simplest Network. Teaching Simple Linear One Layer Neural Networks. Nonlinear Networks. Backpropagation. Forms of Neural Networks Learning. Self-Learning Neural Networks. Self-Organizing Neural Networks. Recurrent Networks.

This book presents the important properties of neural networks-while keeping the complex mathematics to a minimum. Explaining how to build neural networks and use them, the book presents complicated information about neural networks structure, functioning, and learning in a manner that is easy to understand. Taking a "learn by doing" approach, the book is filled with illustrations to guide readers through the mystery of neural networks. Examples of experiments are provided in the text to encourage individual research. C# programs are also included to help readers independently discover the properties of neural networks.
