Course Contents

Day 1 - Matrix Calculus Essentials

What is covered: Calculating derivatives for matrices and vectors.

Application: Training deep neural networks, computing gradients.

Example:
1. Backpropagation: Calculating how much each weight in a neural network should change.
2. Gradient Calculation: Finding the direction to adjust parameters for better predictions.

Day 2 - Backpropagation Mathematics

What is covered: Algorithm for updating weights in neural networks.

Application: Training deep learning models.

Example:
1.Image Classification: Neural network learns to recognize cats vs dogs by adjusting weights using backpropagation.
2.Speech Recognition: Improving accuracy by learning from mistakes 

Day 3 - Activation & Loss Function Math

What is covered: Functions that introduce non-linearity (ReLU, sigmoid), and measure error (loss).

Application: Enabling neural networks to learn complex patterns.

Example:
1.ReLU Activation: Helps deep networks learn features like edges in images.
2.Softmax Loss: Used for multi-class classification (e.g., digit recognition).

Day 4 - Optimization Deep Dive

What is covered: Methods to find best model parameters (SGD,Adam). 

Application: Efficient training, faster convergence.

Example:
1. Adam Optimizer: Used in training large models like GPT for faster and stable learning.
2. Learning Rate Scheduling: Adjusting how quickly a model learns over time.

Day 5 - Convolution & Feature Extraction Math

What is covered: Mathematical operation for extracting features from data (images).

Application: Computer vision, image processing.

Example:
1. Edge Detection: Convolutional layers in CNNs find edges and shapes in images.
2. Feature Maps: Identifying objects in photos.
