But what *is* a Neural Network? | 3Blue1Brown

--

“Right now when I say neuron, all I want you to think about is a thing that holds a number, specifically a number between 0 and 1.” (3Blue1Brown)

This week, as part of our series on learning resources, we chose this video created by 3Blue1Brown, a youtube channel focused on explaining math through animation.

This video gives a thorough and deeper introduction into what comprises a neural network, explaining the underlying math in a way that is interactive, engaging, and easy-to-follow. This is the first video in their series on neural networks. We hope you find this interesting and informative, as we did!
