Ebook: Python code for Artificial Intelligence: Foundations of Computational Agents

AIPython contains runnable code for the book Artificial Intelligence, foundations

of computational agents, 3rd Edition[Poole and Mackworth, 2023]. It has the

following design goals

• Readability is more important than efficiency, although the asymptotic

complexity is not compromised. AIPython is not a replacement for welldesigned libraries, or optimized tools. Think of it like a model of an engine made of glass, so you can see the inner workings; don’t expect it to

power a big truck, but it lets you see how a metal engine can power a

truck.

• It uses as few libraries as possible. A reader only needs to understand

Python. Libraries hide details that we make explicit. The only library

used is matplotlib for plotting and drawing.
