Understanding Neural Networks by John Iovine Understanding
Neural Networks is an introductory text to artificial neural
networks. The book begins with examining biological neurons in
the human brain and defining their real world mathematical and
electronic equivalent. Building upon this foundation the book
contains hardware and software projects that illustrate neural
networks. Hardware projects include a op-amp neuron that tracks
a light source, speech recognition system, and machine vision
system. Software projects include a Preceptron program and Back-
Propagation networks. This book provides a comprehensive
introduction to neural networks. Chapter 3 Experiment: The Light
