Read Chapter 3:
- Pay particular attention to the formulation of problems as
search problems, Sections 3.1-3.2.
- Review the search material in Sections 3.3-3.5. For a quality
presentation of this material, see Norvig’s on-line lecture on
Problem Solving (in particular,
review the “Unit 2” entries, topics 1-34).
- Focus on the heuristic functions for the 8-puzzle only in
section 3.6.
