"[Neural Network 4] Sigmoid Activation Function."

In this lesson, we explore one of the foundational building blocks of neural networks: the Sigmoid activation function.

Through intuitive explanations and step-by-step visuals, we uncover why non-linear activation functions like Sigmoid are essential, how they help neural networks learn complex patterns, and what their strengths and limitations are in practice.

This slide deck is designed to deepen your understanding of how activation functions shape the behavior of neural networks. Perfect for learners who are building up from the basics, one concept at a time.

📚 Topics covered include:

• What is an activation function?
• The Sigmoid function: formula, shape, and intuition
• Mathematical properties of Sigmoid (e.g., range, derivative)
• Where Sigmoid works well—and where it doesn’t
• Visual illustrations and step-by-step walkthroughs

Whether you're a student, educator, or a curious mind diving deeper into deep learning, this slide deck provides a clear and focused guide to one of the key concepts in neural network architecture.
