Keras Sequential — Your First Neural Network

# Description

Your first neural network with Keras Sequential API and TensorFlow on the MNIST dataset (70,000 handwritten digits). Build a 3-layer Dense network with ReLU and Softmax activations, compile with Adam optimizer and sparse_categorical_crossentropy loss, train for 10 epochs with validation, and achieve ~97-98% test accuracy. Learn Deep Learning fundamentals: pixel normalization, 2D image flattening to vectors, epochs and batches concepts, learning curves, and confusion matrix for multiclass classification.

# Key features

$ Sequential neural network with 3 Dense layers: Input(784) → Dense(128, ReLU) → Dense(64, ReLU) → Dense(10, Softmax)

$ MNIST dataset: 70,000 handwritten digits (0-9)

$ Preprocessing: [0,1] normalization and 28×28 → 784 flattening

$ Compilation with Adam optimizer and sparse_categorical_crossentropy loss

$ Training with epochs, batches, and validation data

$ Evaluation: ~97-98% test accuracy, confusion matrix

$ Learning curves for overfitting detection
