This Course
A Course For 4th+Year Computer Scientists
You are expected to be able to write decent code coming in
You are expected to be comfortable with algorithms, discrete math, logic and calculus
If you are fairly uncomfortable with these, go fix that first
What We Won't Be Doing
Philosophy of AI. We will really concentrate on practice over theory
AI woo. We will concentrate on proven theories you can use to consistently produce practical results
