When I code neural networks, I think about them write them in layers, often not thinking about the math that runs behind the scenes.

Yes, neural networks are completely based on math, though it's not 100% required to know everything happening behind the scenes to code and use neural networks.

So if you're thinking about getting into machine learning but being held back by the math, try writing algorithms in code first and learning math as you go, just like learning another programming language (math is Nature's programming language).
