    This book presents the idea that innovative ways of teaching and learning are very essential to retention and growth. Presented in 15 sections, the book starts with the common sense training on education and moves on to neural network operation. Throughout the book, the art of learning, associative, cognitive, and creative learning are stated and defined. Learning simplicity, information content as related to neural network learning are discussed. The author also discusses neural plasticity and adaptability in smarter neural networks.



    If we know our human brain’s basic abilities and limitation then a better educational methods can be implemented.

    Biography

    Francis T. S. Yu received his B.S.E.E. degree from Mapua Institute of



    Technology Manila, Philippines, and his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in



    Electrical Engineering from the University of Michigan. He has been a



    consultant to several industrial and governmental laboratories. He is an



    active researcher in the fields of optical signal processing, holography,



    information optics, optical computing, neural networks, photorefractive



    optics, fiber sensors, and photonic devices. He has published over five



    hundred papers, in which over three hundred are referred. He is a



    recipient of the 1983 Faculty Scholar Medal for Outstanding Achievement



    in Physical Sciences and Engineering, a recipient of the 1984



    Outstanding Researcher in the College of Engineering, was named Evan



    Pugh Professor of Electrical Engineering in 1985 at Penn State, a



    recipient of the 1993 Premier Research Award from the Penn State



    Engineering Society, was named Honorary Professor in Nankai University



    in 1995, is the corecipient of the 1998 IEEE Donald G. Fink



    Prize Paper Award, was named Honorary Professor of the National



    Chiao-Tung University in Taiwan, and is the recipient of the SPIE 2004



    Dennis Garbor Award. He has served as an associate editor editorial



    board member, and a guest editor for various international journals. He



    is the author and coauthor of nine books. Dr. Yu is a life fellow of IEEE



    and a fellow of OSA, SPIE, and PSC.
