In linux you have Scilab which comes with an ANN tolbox. Scilab is not GPLed...comes with its own scilab license. (check octave also) For the mathematics part of it..u can start with this: http://www.mth.kcl.ac.uk/courses/guide.pdf.. I think it would be wiser to use the libraries already available(unless u want to reinvent the wheel!!)(checkout fann, libeneural) Rgds Harish P.S: This book was told by my prof. as a good one to start with: "Neural Networks Algorithms, Applications, and Programming Techniques" by James A. Freeman and David M. Skapura (Addison-Wesley, 1991).
