Understanding the concepts in probability

Probability theory is one of the most important fields of mathematics and is essential to the understanding and creation of deep neural networks. We will explore the specifics of this statement in the coming chapters. For now, however, we will focus our effort toward gaining an intricate understanding of this field.

We use probability theory to create an understanding of how likely it is that a certain event will occur. Generally speaking, probability theory is about understanding and dealing with uncertainty.
