There were very few books to draw on during my PhD for DL. Now there’s Ian Goodfellow et al. Deep Learning book and other resources (e.g. many talks, CS231n, etc).

Nassim Nicholas TalebAuthor & risk analyst

Very clear exposition, does the math without getting lost in the details. Although many of the concepts of the introductory first 100 pages can be found elsewhere, they are presented with remarkable cut-to-the-chase clarity.

Written by three experts in the field, Deep Learning is the only comprehensive book on the subject. It provides much-needed broad perspective and mathematical preliminaries for software engineers and students entering the field, and serves as a reference for authorities.
