Artificial Intelligence Illuminated

Rating:
Summary: A Thorough Introduction and Beyond!
Review: This is an excellent book. It covers all aspects of AI in a friendly, clear manner. Despite being written as an undergraduate textbook it is easily accessible to someone like myself who is not doing a course in computing (or anything else for that matter).

The subject manner is handled well with enough diagrams and examples to ensure that you understand even the more esoteric concepts. It is presented in a manner that is enjoyable to read with many asides into the interesting applications in the real world (such as using AI in games programs like chequers and chess).

All in all I would recommend this book to anyone who has an interest in AI from any perspective, whether you are studying in a university or are just interested in learning more about AI in general.
