Fantastic introduction to deep NNs starting from the shallow case of logistic regression and generalizing across multiple layers. The material is very well structured and Dr. Ng is an amazing teacher.

I have been in touch with machine learning and computer vision since my MsC degree on a ivy-league faculty.

I think this is a very nice and smooth way to learn, even after a 9-to-19h full-time work day. So, thank you very much for making this course so well prepared, so smooth.

Thank you Andrew Ng, you are my best teacher who I have seen. The programmer exercise part are designed so wonderful and I have a deep understanding to Neural Networks and Deep Learning with it. I am going to finish the rest courses and finally I want to say, "I love Coursera"

Professor Andrew makes the difficult subject easy to grasp. Simultaneous implementation of the techniques taught allows for better clarity of concepts. Also, the segment where heroes of Deep Learning share their journey and ideas is inspirational. A very well designed course.

Thoroughly enjoyed taking this course! Professor Ng is one of the best teachers I have encountered. The videos lectures are an easy watch. Assignments are designed to really solidify the concepts. A little bit of calculus knowledge will definitely help but not really required.

This course is exceptionally well-designed, making a seemingly challenging subject easy to understand. Andrew Ng's detailed explanations and the step-by-step guidance in the coding assignments make deep learning accessible even to individuals without a strong math background.

Excellent introductory course with Python as programming language. If you are beginner at ML and looking for headstart this course is for you. Andrew Ng leaves no stones unturned un explaining the basics, plus he makes things lot more intuitive without involving much Maths:)

Very nice Deep Learning introduction course by Prof Ng. He explains concept like forward propagation, activation function, derivatives and matrices in a layman way and actually motivate me to do more further reading on matrix calculus and various forms of activation function.

The best course to follow up after ML from Deeplearning.ai. Dive-in deep to understand how back-propagation, hidden -layers and the activation functions are developed and used. Design and develop multi-layered Neural networks with greater understanding. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

I have to say this is the Best Course u can get if you want to Enter the World of Deep learning

with to the point Explanation of the relevant topics and the hands on Exercise Bridges the gap between the Theoretical and Practical approach of this domain. cheers to Knowledge.

Excellent course!!! I really enjoyed the pace of the course, and how clear were the explanations regarding the mathematics behind neural networks.

I loved that it was not another 'overview' course on AI, it explains the real algorithms behind neural networks. Congratulations.

Hi, my name is Mayarin, I am a mathematician and I am very happy to have finished the course. The classes seemed great to me, I really liked how they started with a simple neural network and then added more layers, the last week was my favorite. Eager to start the next course

Excellent step by step explanation of deep learning. I liked how the course started with logistic regression and then progressed to deep neural network by building from fundamental principles. Deeply satisfied as I was able to build a multi layer neural network from scratch!

excellent course that guide you through aquiring a solid understanding of the principles and the practices needed to build neural networks. Also doing a Masters at a well known university and couldn't have got through the course without this. An absolutely fantastic resource.

Best course for deep learning from scratch if you're an engineering/science student. Loved the hands on experience with jupyter notebooks! :) If you've completed the Intro to ML course by Andrew NG then this would be much easier for you but even without that its a fun course!

Such a great introduction to Deep Learning. Clear, very well explained and most importantly it does shun away from practice. The exercices can be a bit spoon-fed, but this would greatly benefit those with no prior experience and "just want to check". 10/10 would recommend :)

Thank you for such a wonderful course that is well set up. The assignments were truly helpful in putting the pieces of the puzzle together. I am keen to learn more about Deep Learning and dive into the AI algorithms to help build stronger societies. That is all thanks to you!

Professor Ng does a great job explaining the concepts behind Deep Neural Networks! Although deeper knowledge of Linear Algebra and multivariable Calculus is always handy, it is far from necessary for completing this course and successfully building your first neural network.

Andrew Ng is an awesome instructor. Assignments are equipped to transfer knowledge efficiently while keeping the material interesting. NN training through backpropagation was explained with more lucidity than I have ever seen. One can quickly apply the skills learned here.

The Course was very helpful as it was a perfect combo of theory and practical application. I don't think there can be any other course better than this. As a student i've rarely found any course perfect but this one is absolutely perfect

can't even deduct 0.001 % from it.

Sir, I'm having no words to express how my knowledge from zero you enhance high. Earlier I have tried to learn these stuffs from books but its bit trouble for me. But after you taught me I just goes to those book and now all those stuffs are been easy for me.

Thanks Andrew Ng

Very Difficult Mathematical Computations have been explained very well which makes them easy to understand even for a person without a huge math background. Makes me want to explore more of deep learning and take it up as a profession. Excellent Teaching and a great course!

Excellent course! The materials have been prepared with a lot (a lot!) of effort. Very high quality course content. This course will start from the very basics to building a L-layer neural net. I finally understood how and why the neural nets are structured the way they are.

Congratulations to Doctor Andrew Ng and his colleagues for this course that is well-designed and is an excellent induction to Deep Learning. The exemples give a good idea of the power of DL for just a few hours of programming. The course really motivates me to learn further.

The way andrew explains everything makes it so easy for anyone to grasp whats happening and the programming assignments are also structured brilliantly so that you have to spend time only on implementing the required stuff and after that you can easily figure out the rest .
