5.0 out of 5 stars AI Explained, May 14, 2006

Prof. Bart (Portland, OR USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Essentials of Artificial Intelligence (Hardcover)
[Disclaimer: the author of this book was my Ph.D. advisor.]

I have been teaching introductory Artificial Intelligence for about 5 years now at my University, and have tried three different texts. Essentials of Artificial Intelligence was far and away the best. If it were still in print, I would still be using it enthusiastically, in spite of its advancing age.

The chapters are short, clear, and complement excellent explanations with great suggestions for further learning. The coverage is fairly balanced, but with an emphasis on state space search, planning, and scheduling and a lessened emphasis on highly applied topics.

This is not an encyclopedic AI text. I think that is one of its strengths. If you are a college student or professor new to AI, and are looking for a quick but thorough way to come up to speed in the field, this is the book for you.
