Lesson 1
Course Introduction
Meet your instructors, get a short overview of what you'll be learning, check your prerequisites, and learn how to use the workspaces and notebooks found throughout the lessons.
Course
Learn the fundamentals of neural networks with Python and TensorFlow, and then use your new skills to create your own image classifier—an application that will first train a deep learning model on a dataset of images and then use the trained model to classify new images.

Lesson 2
Introduction to Neural Networks
In this lesson, Luis will give you solid foundations on deep learning and neural networks. You'll also implement gradient descent and backpropagation in Python right here in the classroom.
Lesson 3
Implementing Gradient Descent
Mat will introduce you to a different error function and guide you through implementing gradient descent using numpy matrix multiplication.
Lesson 4
Training Neural Networks
Now that you know what neural networks are, in this lesson you will learn several techniques to improve their training.
Lesson 5
Deep Learning with TensorFlow
Learn how to use TensorFlow for building deep learning models.
Lesson 6 • Project
Image Classifier Project
In this project, you'll build a Python application that can train an image classifier on a dataset, then predict new images using the trained model.
