Tensors are super important for neural networks, but can be confusing because different people use the word "Tensor" differently. In this StatQuest, we clear this up and tell you what the big deal is. BAM!

NOTE: If you are not already familiar with Neural Networks, check out the Neural Network playlist: youtube.com/watch?v=CqOfi41LfDw&list=PLblh5JKOoLUIxGDQs4LFFD--41Vzf-ME1
