Lines: 11 I went to an Intro. to AI seminar, and the speaker recommended three books for novices to start with. All are published by Addison-Wesley, and I think that two are in 2nd edition. LISP by P. H. Winston and B. K P. Horn (2nd ed is on Common Lisp) Aritificial Intelligence by P. H. Winston (&?) Building Expert Systems by F. Hayes-Roth I haven't started reading them yet - I'd welcome comments as to whether these are the right place for a novice to start to gain a *general* understanding. --henry schaffer n c state univ
