Artificial Intelligence & Applications

Artificial Intelligence: Foundations of Computational Agents is a book about the science of artificial intelligence (AI). AI is the study of the design of intelligent computational agents. The book is structured as a textbook but it is designed to be accessible to a wide audience. The book can be used as an introductory text on artificial intelligence for advanced undergraduate or graduate students in computer science or related disciplines such as computer engineering philosophy cognitive science or psychology. It will appeal more to the technically minded; parts are technically challenging focusing on learning by doing: designing building and implementing systems. Any curious scientifically oriented reader will benefit from studying the book. Previous experience with computational systems is desirable but prior study of the foundations upon which we build including logic probability calculus and control theory is not necessary because we develop the concepts as required.
