Lecture Schedule
This outline is tentative and subject to change.
Readings are from Russell and Norvig unless specified. To access certain of the electronic readings (i.e. without paying money), get onto UIUC's network (directly or via the VPN). (External folks looking at this page: your university may also have a suitable site license.) Readings from different sources often cover similar material, but it sometimes helps to read different versions if you're feeling confused.
We've tried to pick out only the relevant sample problems. There may be some bloopers (problems that are not relevant) -- if you think you've found one, please tell us. Solutions to some of the problems are posted on Peter Danenberg's github.
