Since its publication, Essentials of Artificial Intelligence has been
adopted at numerous universities and colleges offering introductory AI
courses at the graduate and undergraduate levels. Based on the author's
course at Stanford University, the book is an integrated, cohesive
introduction to the field. The author has a fresh, entertaining writing
style that combines clear presentations with humor and AI anecdotes. At the
same time, as an active AI researcher, he presents the material
authoritatively and with insight that reflects a contemporary, first hand
understanding of the field. Pedagogically designed, this book offers a
