intelligence explores the modern computational techniques used to engineer
machines involved in rational decision making, perception, and, of course,
learning. Related A.I. topics include such
areas as knowledge representation, logic, search algorithms,
constraint-satisfaction problems, and machine learning. Students in this course
will engage in hands-on programming assignments to implement many of the
