NOTES:

   This is an introduction to AI class. Artificial Intelligence is 
   a diverse area whose goal is to solve problems that are algorithmically
   not solvable or which belong to the class NP. In this class, breadth 
   will be emphasized instead on depth. Students will be exposed to 
   diverse areas of AI, among them graph searching heuristics, foundations 
   of logic programming, uncertainty in knowledge bases, introduction to 
   machine learning, evolutionary computation, natural language, vision 
   and robotics. CLisp or Racket , a version of the language LISP, will be 
   introduced and used for implementation of the various heuristics.
