1980 Artificial Intelligence A Theoretical Approach Ranan B. Banerji Hardcover

Artificial Intelligence: A Theoretical Approach by Ranan B. Banerji, published by Elsevier North Holland in 1980. This hardcover academic volume develops a mathematical theory of problem solving and learning through discrete mathematics, graph structures, games, heuristics, search strategies and formal representation. Its five principal chapters address problem-solving theory, one-person problems, two-person games, automated heuristic discovery and learning through flexible description languages. Numerous equations, graph diagrams, game examples, exercises and schematic illustrations document how artificial intelligence was formally organized and taught at the beginning of the 1980s. Includes the original abstract network-design dust jacket. A strong historical reference for collectors and researchers of early artificial intelligence, computer science, knowledge systems and machine-learning history. Approximately 9.3 × 6.3 × 0.8 inches.
