CMSC 289I Rise of the Machines (CMSC 289I) is being offered this coming Fall 2012. This I-Series course describes past attempts to produce machines that can simulate human intelligence, for example by reasoning logically, or by modeling human cognition or brain functions. The material is at a basic level that should be understandable to undergraduates in any major. No previous computer programming experience is needed, but students should know how to use a computer (Windows, Mac OS/X, or Linux), a browser, email, and
basic word processing (e.g., MS Word). High school algebra and a basic knowledge of probabilities are also needed. The course satisfies CORE requirements in Mathematics or Formal Reasoning.
Questions about this course can be directed to Dr. James A. Reggia at the following link: http://www.cs.umd.edu/~reggia/
