This document provides an overview of deep learning for beginners. It discusses how deep learning has evolved from rule-based systems to neural networks. It then explains the basic mathematical concepts in machine learning including linear regression, hypothesis, cost/loss functions, and gradient descent. Gradient descent is used to minimize the cost function and train the model by iteratively updating the weights and biases. The trained model can then be tested on new input data to check if it can accurately predict the expected output.
