AIM:

To learn the basics of designing intelligent agents that can solve general purpose
problems, represent and process knowledge, plan and act, reason under uncertainty and
can learn from experiences
OBJECTIVE
To provide a strong foundation of fundamental concepts in Artificial Intelligence

To provide a basic exposition to the goals and methods of Artificial Intelligence

To enable the student to apply these techniques in applications which involve
perception, reasoning and learning.
