Review text

The author discusses the problem of representing a function of several variables by means of continuous functions of one variable. The 13th Hilbert's problem and the famous Kolmogorov's and Arnol'd's theorems are formulated without proofs (see, for example, \textit{V.~I.~Arnol'd} [Mat. Prosveščenie 3, 41-61 (1958; Zbl 0090.27201)] for more detail). In addition, Weierstrass' and Stone's approximation theorems are formulated and an introduction to the theory of artificial neural networks is given. The author treats problems of neural networks as representation or approximation problems for functions of several variables. Some applications are discussed of general versions of the Stone's approximation theorem to neural networks. In the final part of the article, the author discusses prospects for developing artificial neural networks. The article is based on a lecture given by the author for secondary school teachers in the framework of the ``International Soros Science Educational Program and is aimed at presenting contemporary developments in mathematics on an elementary level understandable for secondary school teachers and pupils.
