Artificial intelligence: a modern approach (3rd ed.)
Without a doubt, this book should be on the shortlist of indispensable computer science textbooks, along with other classics such as “the dragon book” [1] and Hennessy and Patterson’s computer architecture textbook [2]. Having been let down by the poor Spanish translation of a previous edition that I used in my undergrad... more
