I am not a mathematician. I enjoy a good math puzzle, but I admit my weaknesses whole heartedly. That said, I’ve always had an interest in Neural Networks, and while I understand them enough to implement them from scratch, I hit a wall when I need to understand any concept that I can only find mathematic proofs for. Where is the programmer’s guide to neural networks, using code instead of formula to explain the practical reasonings?

Another alternative is a non-math, non-programming explanation. The book Blondie24: Playing at the Edge of AI contains a really great explanation of neural networks. It’s about a checkers-playing AI developed by the author. It’s not completely without programming references, but it does a great job of explaining how the algorithms work without getting into the code of the solution.
