Neural Networks, Part II : Introduction for beginners

Artificial Neural Networks for Beginners

The scope of this teaching package is to make a brief induction to Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) for people who have no previous knowledge of them. We first make a brief introduction to models of networks, for then describing in general terms ANNs. As an application, we explain the backpropagation algorithm, since it is widely used and many other algorithms are derived from it. The user sho...

Introduction to Part Ii

In the following chapters we present the theory of bifurcations of dynamical systems with simple dynamics. It is difficult to over-emphasize the role of bifurcation theory in nonlinear dynamics the reason is quite simple: the methods of the theory of bifurcations comprise a working tool kit for the study of dynamical models. Besides, bifurcation theory provides a universal language to communica...

Statistics for dental researchers; part 1: Introduction

Learning statistics is a necessity for dental researchers. Due to daily dental science expansion, dental researchers have to study new papers in recent dental journals to remain up to date. On the other hand, knowing principles of statistics helps better understanding of the articles. Some authors revealed that knowledge of dentists about basic topics of statistics was poor. Therefore, in this ...
