Course Purpose

This is a survey course. The overall goal is to introduce students to a number of topics and techniques in Artificial Intelligence (AI), Students should be prepared to put in considerable time and effort into reading and programming to become familiar with these topics and gain experience with these techniques. At the end of the semester, students should have the knowledge required to identify areas which they would like to investigate in more depth in related courses. This knowledge includes:

Reading Materials

An On-line Guide to Prolog

Homeworks (each counts for THREE percent of final score)

LATE-DUE HOMEWORK ARE NOT ACCEPTED.
For homeworks involving programming, please hand in a listing of your code and a transcipt of a sample run. Please also send a copy of your code by email to both TA and the instructor.

Lecture Notes

You are expected to study all the material in each chapter covered in the readings even if that material is not explicitly discussed in class or in the homework. You are also expected to study the extra material presented in class which is not in the textbook. Material presented in class, but not in the book may appear on tests.

The lecture notes are a supplement to the course textbook. They are supposed to help you understand the textbook material better, they are not a replacement for either the textbook or the lecture itself.
