But what is a neural network? | Chapter 1, Deep learning

Most educational videos give viewers the impression that they are learning something, while in reality, they cannot reliably explain any of the important points of the video later, so they haven't really learned anything. But your videos give me the impression that I haven't learned anything, because all the points you make are sort of obvious in isolation, while in reality, after watching them I find myself much better able to explain some of the concepts in simple, accurate terms. I hope more channels follow this pattern of excellent conceptual learning.

I study mathematics, physics and architecture. By definition this man is an ORACLE in the strict meaning of the word. With all honesty I never imagined someone explaining complex topics with the dexterity this man has. He is literally an institution and an outstanding teacher. The computer graphics and the illustrations are simply perplexing. This guy never evades complexity. He never evades complex arguments. He illustrate the complexity and dive into the exhaustive explanation of the details. It's extremely rare to see a professor and a dedicated user to put a lot of effort explaining, animating and describing mathematics the way he does.

No man, we don't get notifications for your videos. We search for 3b1b. That's how powerful your content is.

I'm currently taking a computer science math course where the professor strongly advised everyone to watch this exact video series to get an intuition about what all the math is actually used for.

Quote: “Any fool can make something complicated. It takes a genius to make it simple.”…..nailed.

I can't wait for neural networking to be able to recognize my doctor's prescription.

Your videos are singlehandedly keeping my PhD research on track. Thank you for your time and effort!

I am blown away by the visual clarity of this description of otherwise a complex technology! More please, I am willing to pay!

It takes 3000-4000 lines of code to make those graphics possible, he's a freakin legend

This is how you taught Deep Learning, people. I've seen lectures that either be categorized into 2 groups: too hard or too shallow/general. You have balanced between them. Thanks you so much!

I just love the way the concepts of neural networks are explained in this video. After watching it, you feel like you have an idea about the "building blocks" of a neural network. Since I'm new to the topic, it's hard to judge whether crucial things are left out or over-simplified, but I feel it's a great introduction to the topic. Thanks a lot for sharing this!

In class : printf("Hello world"); The exam :

I am Programming for more than ten years and I never saw anyone explain a complex idea by such a clean and clear terms. Well done.

Brilliantly explained

3Blue1Brown is the go-to channel that explains complex math concepts with the highest clarity without any loss of complexity of the topic. Simply brilliant!

In schools everyone taught us to practice maths but this man teaches us to imagine maths

Around 2 years ago I was a sophomore statistics student and had no idea what deep learning is, until I met this video and 3b1b channel. His clear explanation of neural network and animations blew my mind. Since then I started my journey in machine learning. For a random reason I clicked onto this video again, and realized how long my journey in this field have been. This video really changed my life and I am really grateful about it.

This channel and the visualizations it produces to teach subjects like this one is the best advance in the history of communicating mathematical ideas. It's extraordinarily inspiring that one person can have such a large impact on the world today (and for generations to come). Thank you, Grant Sanderson.

The fact that I was sent here by my university lecturer is a testament to how good 3Blue1Brown is.

Thanks for all the effort you put into the work! Cannot stress enough how glad and inspired I am for having people like you on the planet.
