In this chapter, we will be sharpening our theoretical tools and sneak our way into the mathematics of neural networks.

From traditional regression to neural networks - it's not that big a leap as you might think. In this book, let's get a peek into this transition while appreciating how animal kingdom is already using this strategy. We will be taking help from our friend - intuition - time and again.

In this chapter, we will be looking at the basics - the idea of prediction, using traditional regression and moving towards learning based methods.
