Welcome to CSE 415! This quarter, we will study
a mix of classical artificial intelligence and machine learning techniques.
We will be using the Python programming language. Python
has been gaining popularity for a variety of different kinds
of programming, including artificial intelligence programming.
Many programmers like its simple syntax based in part on
indentation rather than the use of parentheses. Like the
traditional AI language Lisp, Python provides good support
for list processing, functional programming,
automatic memory management, and interactive
development.
The leading versions of Python at this time are 2.7, and 3.6. We will be primarily using Python 3.6.
Note that versions 3.0, 3.1, etc., are not backwards compatible with the previous versions.
High-quality Python tools are freely available on the World
Wide Web. Students taking CSE 415 do not need to have any prior
experience with Python. The course will cover the essentials
of Python during the first week.
