AI for Everyone: First Steps in Deep Learning Understood Through Mathematics

Many people use ChatGPT and frequently hear news about recommendation systems or autonomous driving, but they find themselves at a loss for words when trying to explain "why it works this way." If you only follow coding lectures, the code runs but the principles remain a mystery; if you only take math lectures, you see the formulas but can't connect them to AI. Overseas lectures are burdened by the language barrier, while domestic introductory courses often lean too heavily on practice alone. I have seen the same scene repeated over and over while building actual models in AI competitions and meeting thousands of learners while running "Everyone's AI." The point where people get stuck isn't how to use the tools, but the moment when functions, derivatives, vectors, and backpropagation feel disconnected from one another. This course connects those dots. From the basics of mathematics to neural networks and softmax, it explains in a single flow how functions define inputs and outputs, how derivatives determine the direction of learning, and how backpropagation transmits errors. This is a class designed to make you understand the "why" through formulas and intuitive illustrations, rather than just memorizing equations or copying code. For those who want to truly understand AI, this will be a solid first step toward your next level in deep learning.

AI, starting with how to understand it rather than just how to use it

The lecture focuses on 'understanding' rather than just 'using' AI, which has already become a part of our daily lives, ranging from ChatGPT to recommendation systems and autonomous driving.

From basic mathematics like functions, exponents, logarithms, calculus, and probability to vectors, matrices, artificial neural networks, backpropagation, and softmax, this course explains the core principles of AI by connecting them into a single, cohesive flow.

Foreign lectures can be burdensome due to the language barrier, while domestic introductory AI courses often focus too heavily on coding practice.

This course is designed to help you easily understand concepts such as "how functions define inputs and outputs," "how derivatives determine the direction of learning," and "how backpropagation transmits errors" through formulas, intuitive illustrations, and examples, rather than through memorizing formulas or simply copying code.

Based on a curriculum verified by thousands of learners while operating the AI learning platform "Modu's AI," we have carefully selected only the concepts that cause the most difficulties in the field.

As long as you have the desire to truly understand AI, you will be able to follow along until the end. 💡

What you will learn

1⃣ Connecting basic math to the language of AI

Learn functions, exponents/logarithms, calculus, and probability not as "formulas for exams," but as tools for interpreting AI's input, output, learning, and uncertainty.

2⃣ Understand the flow from vectors and matrices to artificial neural networks 

You will structurally learn how data is represented and how neural networks generate predictions.

3⃣ The Core of Learning: Differentiation · Backpropagation · Softmax

Understand through both intuition and formulas the process where differentiation determines the learning direction, backpropagation transmits errors, and softmax converts results into probabilities.
