 Performance & Utilities:
- Gradient clipping to prevent exploding gradients
- Parameter collection and gradient zeroing utilities
- Memory-efficient gradient accumulation
- Numerical stability for edge cases

 Comprehensive Testing:
- 4,000+ lines of inline testing with educational explanations
- 700+ lines of mock-based module tests (32 test cases)
- Integration tests with neural network scenarios
- Complete ML pipeline demonstration (linear regression)
- Mathematical correctness validation

 Educational Features:
- Step-by-step implementation with clear explanations
- Real ML scenarios and applications
- Visual feedback and progress tracking
- NBGrader-compliant cells for coursework
- Comprehensive documentation and examples

 Technical Implementation:
- Computational graph construction and traversal
