Title: Poor text; misleading for beginners.
Product review: I am an expert that has read numerous presentations of artificial neural networks -- for beginners as well as for experts. I cannot remember ever seeing a more misleading presentation than the one provided by this book. The text's grammatical constructs are poor and the basic principles of the subject are poorly presented. Understand, I don't give poor marks for its basic simplicity; I object to the poor, misleading presentation. Simplicity and accuracy are essential to a clear presentation of this topic and the goal of writing a simple text is a worthy one, but you will find much better material in other books...Awwww heck, you can find better material through a simple Google search. Just remember this quote from Albert Einstein: "Things should be made as simple as possible -- and no simpler."
