About this course: If you want to break into cutting-edge AI, this course will help you do so. Deep learning engineers are highly sought after, and mastering deep learning will give you numerous new career opportunities. Deep learning is also a new "superpower" that will let you build AI systems that just weren't possible a few years ago. In this course, you will learn the foundations of deep learning. When you finish this class, you will: - Understand the major technology trends driving Deep Learning - Be able to build, train and apply fully connected deep neural networks - Know how to implement efficient (vectorized) neural networks - Understand the key parameters in a neural network's architecture This course also teaches you how Deep Learning actually works, rather than presenting only a cursory or surface-level description. So after completing it, you will be able to apply deep learning to a your own applications. If you are looking for a job in AI, after this course you will also be able to answer basic interview questions. This is the first course of the Deep Learning Specialization.
Who is this class for: Prerequisites: Expected: - Programming: Basic Python programming skills, with the capability to work effectively with data structures. Recommended: - Mathematics: Matrix vector operations and notation. - Machine Learning: Understanding how to frame a machine learning problem, including how data is represented will be beneficial. If you have taken my Machine Learning Course here, you have much more than the needed level of knowledge.

Fantastic course. I got a much better understanding of backpropagation in deep networks
It was perfact for people who are not familiar with mathtics and programming languages,
Very good intro into Deep Learning. Would be nice if there could be a special on calculus used for DL

As usual, Professor Andrew Ng was awesome! He really took the time to explain what's going on in terms of the concept, which is great. He even went further to clarify the calculus behind the back propagation and how the derivatives of dW, db, dZ, and dA where determined. For me, calculus is not a problem, but for others who are not familiar with calculus and its chain rule, his detailed explanation would help. It shows how much effort Professor Ng is putting into his teaching of this course.
This is my second course on Coursera with Prof. Ng. First one was Introduction to Machine Learning. I look forward to taking more coursed offered by Professor Andrew Ng in future.
Thanks!
