This book explains the basic concepts, theory and applications of neural networks in a simple unified approach with clear examples and simulations in the MATLAB programming language. The scripts herein are coded for general purposes to be easily extended to a variety of problems in different areas of application. They are vectorized and optimized to run faster and be applicable to high-dimensional engineering problems. This book will serve as a main reference for graduate and undergraduate courses in neural networks and applications. This book will also serve as a main basis for researchers...
