Part (1) — Introduction and Overview — In the past couple of semesters at my university, I decided that the mathematics course “Numerical Analysis” was my favorite math course ever. I found that course so close to real world problems, and it tried to solve those problems in the most efficient, yet realistic ways. …

How an ANN can beat humans in GO but fails in predicting f(x)=x² — A while ago, our AI professor gave us an assignment to apply what we learned about Artificial Neural Networks. It was simple, and pretty easy to be honest. It said: Write a Neural Network that predicts f(x)=x². For any of you who have taken any AI or Machine Learning course…
