# Neural Networks from Nothing

Learn how to implement a very simple neural network (just one neuron)!

Along the way, you will gain a fundamental understanding of the math and logic behind how neural networks work. For instance, weight updates, biases, and gradients.

**Please** submit this one second Google Form to get instant access to the Colab notebook. Rather than using Google Analytics, this is how I track readership in a non-invasive way :)
