The heart of modern Deep Learning lies in backpropagation. Kumar dedicates significant space to explaining the error propagation mechanism. The text uses the chain rule of calculus to show how errors travel backward through the network to adjust weights. The inclusion of flowcharts and network diagrams helps visualize the flow of data, making the abstract concept of gradient descent tangible.
