CSC 481 Winter 2002 Schedule

The following table provides an outline for the schedule of the course. It lists the topic for a particular week, together with references to the respective chapters in the text books (ES-GR stands for the Giarratano & Riley book on expert systems, ES-PJ for Peter Jackson's book on expert systems, and AIMA for Russel and Norvig's book on Artificial Intelligence), and assignments with their due dates. Material will be made available as the course proceeds, so some links will be broken initially. The schedule may be subject to minor changes.
