Introduction To Neural Networks Using MATLAB 6.0 is a book for beginners who want to study neural networks, and comes with the feature of MATLAB integrated throughout. Summary Of The Book A Neural Network is basically a paradigm that is used to process information. It is designed by taking inspiration from the mechanism of biological nervous systems. It uses the human brain as an example and details how neural networks conduct information processing in a similar manner. Introduction to Neural Networks Using MATLAB 6.0 has been written to cater to the needs of the students who are new to Neural Networks. Introduction to Neural Networks Using MATLAB 6.0 makes use of MATLAB throughout the book. This helps in efficiently understanding the subject with more depth and clarity. MATLAB is a computing environment that is highly interactive and provides a platform for programming using a high-level language. This helps the students visualize the solution with ease. Introduction to Neural Networks Using MATLAB 6.0 consists of sixteen chapters. Some of these are Fundamental Models of Artificial Neural Networks, Self Organizing Feature Map, Applications of Neural Networks, Neural Network Projects with MATLAB, Introduction to Artificial Neural Networks and Adaline and Madaline Networks. This book also has an appendix at the end named MATLAB Neural Network Toolbox for the convenience of the students. With over 325 illustrations, this book also has simulated results obtained for the techniques used for neural computing, which makes use of MATLAB. The concepts are explained in a manner that is aimed at laying strong fundamentals for the students. The book includes various applications of neural networks like healthcare, robotics, pattern recognition and security. About The Authors S. N.
