Artificial Intelligence: A Guide to Intelligent Systems provides a practical introduction to artificial intelligence that is less mathematically rigorous than other texts on the market. Its broad coverage of expert systems, artificial neural networks, fuzzy systems and evolutionary computation shows how intelligent systems work together. Michael Negnevitsky neatly explains the principles, demonstrates how systems are built, what they are useful for and how to choose the right tool for the job. No particular programming language knowledge is assumed and mathematical prerequisites are kept to a minimum.
