Abstract

The increasing popularity of artificial neural networks (ANNs) in education, science, and commerce may give the impression of a revolution that has taken place in computer modeling and optimization algorithms. This short review highlights the fundamental shortcomings of ANNs and the potential harm that can be caused by encouraging the study of ANNs to the detriment of strict mathematical methods.
