Reference material
From 6.034 Wiki
Assignment of material to quizzes below is tentative, but final assignment will be announced well before each quiz. SRN in an assignment means the material will be in the "spiritual" and "right-now" part of the quiz. See Grading and collaboration policy.
Included below are readings associated with lecture topics; many are from Prof. Winston's book, Artificial Intelligence . If/when terminology differs, prefer terminology used in the current lectures, recitations, and programming labs.
