The fastai book

These notebooks cover an introduction to deep learning, fastai, and PyTorch. fastai is a layered API for deep learning; for more information, see the fastai paper. Everything in this repo is copyright Jeremy Howard and Sylvain Gugger, 2020 onwards.

These notebooks are used for a MOOC and form the basis of this book, which is currently available for purchase. It does not have the same GPL restrictions that are on this draft.

The code in the notebooks and python .py files is covered by the GPL v3 license; see the LICENSE file for details.

Moreover, they would be hurting the community because we're not likely to release additional materials in this way if people ignore our copyright.

This is an early draft. If you get stuck running notebooks, please search the fastai-dev forum for answers, and ask for help there if needed. Please don't use GitHub issues for problems running the notebooks.

It's difficult for reviewers to know which corrections have already been made. Thank you.)
