Need advice.....

Can anyone tell me how I can learn about neural networks with zero prior knowledge.

Maybe suggest a roadmap...

i started with 3blue1brown youtube series, it dont assume you know anything and the visuals actually make sense

after that maybe try the free fast.ai course, it gets you building stuff quick instead of drowning in theory

Simple equations (y=mx+c)   Calculus (derivatives)   Partial differentiation    Linear algebra (matrices)   Perceptron   Back propagation   Activation functions (ReLU)   Regularisation   Transformers   Training methods (measuring error, cross validation etc)   Network design and different types of networks (layers, dropout, kennels, convolution)   Post training (e.g. RLHF)  

A rough roadmap. Probably before you get half way you'd be able to build a better roadmap for yourself.
