CSCI 446/546
Artificial Intelligence
Fall 2019

Montana Tech
Computer Science Department



SCHEDULE

This page lists the dates of all the lectures with links to slides and readings (if any). Readings are in the optional textbook Artificial Intelligence: A Modern Approach (3rd edition) by Russell and Norvig. It's likely that you can find a pdf version of this or an earlier edition online. You may want to print out the slides before lecture so you can write and highlight on them during lecture.

Once again this year, we will be using the UC Berkeley CS 188 course materials. Their course from last fall is available here. You are welcome to look through any of their materials, though our class will differ in some subtle ways. Particularly when it comes to submitting homework, use the instructions on our website, not UCB's.

You will need to go to Gradescope and create an account. You can enroll in CSCI 446 using the code MZJJYY. Once you've done that, you should be able to link to the homework assignments directly at https://www.gradescope.com/courses/58322. You should have all received an invitation email to sign up.
