SYLLABUS

WELCOME FROM YOUR INSTRUCTOR: Welcome to the online learning environment of Breyer State University. We appreciate your choosing our programs for your educational experience. As your instructor, I hope that you shall enjoy this online course.

COURSE OVERVIEW: This course design to study the foundations of Artificial Intelligence in modern environment and to instill an understanding of representations and external constraints with the idea of enabling a student to think creatively

TIME FRAME: This is a five semester hour course. This course is allotted ten weeks of time. You must complete all of the requirements for the course successfully by the end of the ten-week period. The first day of week one will begin the day that you register for the course, or the day which you notify me that your text book(s) have arrived and you are ready to begin your studies. Please be cognizant of the time frame. It is rare that extensions of time are permitted, unless you have good justification. Upon successful completion of this course, you will be awarded five semester hours of credit.

TEXTBOOKS: There is one textbook required for this course.

Book 1: Artificial Intelligence: A Modern Approach. Stuart Russell and Peter Norvig, Prentice Hall, 2nd edition, 2003:

OPTIONAL READING:

Book 2: Elaine Rich and Kevin Knight, Artificial Intelligence, Mc Graw Hill, 2nd Edition, 1991:

GRADING: The grading scale for this course is as follows:

90-100%    = A
80-89%      = B
70-79%      = C
Below 70% = Fail

COMMUNICATION: You are encouraged to communicate with me. I am available to assist you in meeting your goals for this course. I believe email is the most effective media.

ABOUT YOUR INSTRCTOR: I am currently carrying a research, relating to the Artificial intelligence and Mathematics. I already obtained some successful inventions which are still inexperienced in modern applications.

As a electronic communication person for ten years I became as a firm believer that the numbers are the best media in human communication. That's why I switched my studies to Mathematics from Communication Engineering. When I was reading for the one of my bachelor degree I could find a still virgin concept regarding to the Mathematics in ancient eastern Philosophy. It was the concept of Quaternary logic. Which made me so curios . The Quaternary logic system considers all the out comes of an event which have been neglected by the existing binary logic thinking . I focused a detailed analysis of the option available to Critical Decision Making Mechanism based on the quaternary logic concept . This mechanism provide a set of simple yet powerful conditions that serve as a flexible, general purpose framework for confining the Critical Decision Making. I believe quaternary logical thinking is carrying the answers for most contemporary questions in modern world.

I earned my Ph.D in Information Technology from University of Northwest , USA recently, in addition to my B.Sc in computer science.

COURSE OUTLINE:

1). Introduction to logic and artificial Intelligence.
2). Problem solving/Search.
3). Reasoning and knowledge(Certain/uncertain).
4). Learning.
5). Communicating, perceiving, acting.
6). Philosophical Foundations.

COURSE CONTENT:

1). Historically symbolic logic-based approaches to knowledge representation, planning, reasoning and learning, leading into more recent directions of statistics-based probabilistic approaches (such as Bayesian approaches, belief nets, probabilistic reasoning, etc.). 
2). Also touches on more recent developments in natural language processing, visual processing, robotics, machine learning, and philosophical foundations.
