Course Lessons

Lesson 1

Welcome to Artificial Intelligence

Welcome to Introduction to Artificial Intelligence!

Lesson 2

Introduction to Artificial Intelligence

An introduction to basic AI concepts and the challenge of answering "what is AI?"

Lesson 3

Solving Sudoku With AI

In this lesson, you'll dive right in and apply Artificial Intelligence to solve every Sudoku puzzle.

Lesson 4

Setting Up Your Environment and Workspaces

If you do not want to use Workspaces, then follow these instructions to set up your own system using Anaconda, a popular tool to manage your environments and packages in python.

Lesson 5 • Project

Build a Sudoku Solver

Use constraint propagation and search to build an agent that reasons like a human would to efficiently solve any Sudoku puzzle.

Lesson 6

Constraint Satisfaction Problems

Expand from the constraint propagation technique used in the Sudoku project to the Constraint Satisfaction Problem framework that can be used to solve a wide range of general problems.
