Books

The required textbook for this course is Artificial Intelligence: A Modern Approach (Third Edition), and a supplementary textbook (recommended, but not required) is Artificial Intelligence: A New Synthesis. Lecture material will be drawn from both textbooks, as well as from some of the recent online AI literature.
