Reading Sets

We won't have a formal textbook this semester, instead, we will be reading a variety of sources.  I will try to make these available electronically whenever possible and whenever legal.  However, you may occasionally have to obtain a copy of the readings from an alternative source.  We will talk about this issue in class as needed.

Reading Set #1 - Introduction to Intelligent/Expert Systems

The following are pdf scans of chapters from two older textbooks.  They are only available from a UNI on-campus machine.  I will also have copies available outside of my office to borrow and photocopy.

• Reading 1a
• Reading 1b

• The Past, Present, and Future of Artificial Neural Networks in Digital Games
