Artificial Intelligence Simplified: Understanding Basic Concepts

A small book that introduces key Artificial Intelligence (AI) concepts in an easy-to-read format with examples and illustrations. A complex long overly mathematical textbook does not always serve the purpose of conveying the basic AI concepts to most people. Someone with basic knowledge in Computer Science can have a quick overview of AI (heuristic searches genetic algorithms expert systems game trees fuzzy expert systems natural language processing super intelligence etc.) with everyday examples. If you are taking a basic AI course and find the traditional AI textbooks intimidating you may choose this as a bridge book or as an introductory textbook. (This is old edition -- a new revised edition is currently available.)
