Artificial Intelligence: A Modern Approach (2nd Edition)

Customer Reviews:

Best Comprehensive text on AI

By calvinnme - November 22, 2005

I didn't think that the first edition of this book was as bad as some of the reviewers said, but the second edition is definitely a vast improvement. It's not just some obligatory 2nd edition that some authors release to say that they are staying actively published. The first edition was somewhat confusing in its explanations and the exercises were really blurry on what was being asked. All of that has now been resolved.
The book is a comprehensive and insightful introduction to artificial intelligence with an academic tone. It provides a unified view of the field organized around the rational decision making paradigm, which focuses on the selection of the "best" solution to a problem. The book's overall theme is that the purpose of AI is to solve problems via intelligent agents, and then goes about specifying the features such an agent or agents should have.

Give the Second Edition a Chance

By A Customer - January 3, 2003

Most of the reviews here refer to the first edition, not the second. There have been significant changes to the second edition. Amazon should consider using a display that clarifies which edition each review refers to.

Stunning textbook--best I've ever used

By R. Johnson "bonovox" - February 9, 2005

Until recently, my Algorithms book was my favorite text book ever. However, AI: A Modern Approach has supplanted it. This book is the most thoughtfully designed, easily understandable, clear text I've ever used in over 28 years of attending schools. I really knew nothing about AI when I took my first grad class in AI, but this book, along with a pretty great instructor, has been a wonderful resource, more than any other book I've used. I have not need to google for more information or speak to the professor. The answers are here--clear and concrete.
