Week 3 - Last video titled: 'Gradient descent and back propagation

Hi, for the final week 3 video on gradient descent and propagation, shouldn’t the result displayed in the dialog box be so for dL/dw^{[1]} and not dL/dw^{[2]}? (timestamp: 05:15)

Yes, it looks like you are correct. The only possible explanation is that they have highlighted in gray the first 4 items to the right of the equal sign, which give \displaystyle \frac {dL}{dw^{[2]}}. The first step is to double check what is being said in the lecture at that point to make sure we are interpreting correctly what they mean there.

I re-watched the lecture to check if anything was being said about the what you mentioned but it doesn’t appear so.
In case I have missed something, I apologise as I couldn’t pick on it but thank you for confirming.

Thanks for checking the lecture. Sorry, but I’m not in a position to be able to watch the lectures right at the moment. I will set a bookmark on this thread and try to come back later and file a bug about the point that you have reported here.
