Can anyone recommend a better intro. AI book than
"Introduction to Artificial Intelligence" by
Charniak and McDermott. Most of the other students
in my class find this book to be rather dry and
confusing.
Thank You,

Elaine Rich's "Artificial Intelligence" covers a nice variety of topics, and is easily read (being a rather short book)... An advantage of this is that the student is not innundated with too much material that the become bored or confused -- they spend their time asking their own questions rather than asking the book's questions. It also provides flexibility for delving into particular areas using other works or more current references. -David ----------------------- David Perry Greene dg1v@andrew.cmu.edu dpg@isl1.ri.cmu.edu Carnegie Mellon University "You're welcome to use my oppinions, just don't get them all wrinkled." -----------------------

Having worked closely with both books (although a wile ago), I would *strongly* reccomend _Artifcial Intelligence_ by Elaine Rich. -- O----------------------------------------------------------------------> | Cliff Joslyn, Cybernetician at Large | Systems Science, SUNY Binghamton, vu0112@bingvaxu.cc.binghamton.edu V All the world is biscuit shaped. . .
