Synopsis:

This is the all-time bestselling introduction to artificial intelligence. The third edition retains the best features of the earlier works, including superior readability, currency, and excellence in the selection of examples. Winston emphasizes how artificial intelligence can be viewed from an engineering or a scientific point of view. The new edition offers comprehensive coverage of more material, and many of the ideas presented are enhanced with a variety of side pieces, including application examples such as the Westinghouse nuclear fuel plant optimizer.

Review: This book is one of the oldest and most popular introductions to artificial intelligence. An accomplished artificial intelligence (AI) scientist, Winston heads MIT's Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, and his hands-on AI research experience lends authority to what he writes. Winston provides detailed pseudo-code for most of the algorithms discussed, so you will be able to implement and test the algorithms immediately. The book contains exercises to test your knowledge of the subject and helpful introductions and summaries to guide you through the material.
