There are number of books written in the field of artificial intelligence. Artificial Intelligence Modern Approach is one of the best books written for the domain of artificial intelligence and the book is extensively used in the universities.

The book Artificial Intelligence Modern Approach was written by Stuart Russell and Peter Norvig. This book has been crowned as the leading text book for the field of artificial intelligence. Currently it is reported that the book is used in thousand one hundred universities over hundred and two countries. I’m pretty sure that this is an amazing achievement for a text book. Artificial Intelligence Modern Approach has eight parts explaining the modern approaches of artificial intelligence.

Part one simply introduces the area of artificial intelligence to the pupils. Since the book is designed for undergraduates, the readers need not to have any knowledge of artificial intelligence. In addition to that Artificial Intelligence Modern Approach book introduces intelligence agents in the first part.

In the part two, artificial intelligence problem solving is presented. Although the part 2 maybe too early to talk about AI roblem solving, Artificial Intelligence Modern Approach does not make you confused with its content. In this part, only the high level constructs are introduced connected to AI problem solving.

From part 3 to 7, various areas of AI are presented in the book, Artificial Intelligence Modern Approach. Part three talks about knowledge and reasoning in a broader sense. In this part, much stress has been put on first-order logic and related problems.

Artificial intelligence planning is the next part in the book. Even in the real world of artificial intelligence, not enough emphasis is given for artificial intelligence planning. Therefore, committing an entire part for planning is a great move as it fulfills the knowledge demand of the students.

Part five is entirely dedicated for uncertainty related problems. Uncertain knowledge and reasoning is what is under focus in this part. In addition to that, this part presents a great deal of knowledge about simple and complex decision making in artificial intelligence.

Since machine learning is one of the important topics of artificial intelligence, Artificial Intelligence Modern Approach has dedicated the next part for machine learning. To give the student an widespread picture about machine learning, this part of the book talks about different approaches and tools used in the fields of machine learning.

Part seven is all about robotics. Since robotics is something the young inventors dying for, the authors have kept it for a latter part as it will be a motivation for pupils to keep reading the book. This is the part where the robotics is discussed in detail. At last, the book ends at part eight with the conclusions.
