The notes when study the Coursera class by Mr. Andrew Ng "Neural Networks & Deep Learning", section 4.1 "Deep L-layer Neural network". It shows what deep NN looks like and notations to denote and compute NN. Share it with you and hope it helps!

What is a deep neural network (NN)?

Figure-1 shows NN with different hidden layers. We can call NN with more than 1 hidden layer as deep NN (?). Logistic regression can be seen as one layer NN

Figure-2 is a 4-layer NN with 3 hidden layers. Followings are the notations to denote and compute NN:
- L=4: the number of layers of the NN
: the number of nodes/units in layer
So:: the activation of layer
and,and
: the weight for computing value of
