Nowadays, the methods of artificial intelligence are widely used in computer science. Artificial neural networks (ANN) are very advantageous in most systems, especially in the systems which have very complex mathematical structures. In this course, the aim is to teach the fundamental ANN subjects and to develop some ANN applications.
