CPE/CSC 480-F09 Artificial Intelligence Prerequisites
Note: The prerequisite chain listed below is based on an older
catalog. In the meantime, the CSC 141 requirement has been
removed.
This course requires programming skills in at least one
programming language such as Pascal, C/C++, or Java.
Assignments will be done in Java; if you don't know
Java, but are familiar with C++, you should be able
to pick it up as we go.
Formally, the prerequisites for the course as stated in
the
2000-01 Cal Poly
Catalog] are CSC 103 (Fundamentals of Computer Science III)
and CSC 141 (Discrete Structures I).
Since these courses also have prerequisites, the expanded chain of prerequisites is
CSC 480 (Artificial Intelligence)
=> CSC 103 (Fundamentals of Computer Science III)
=> CSC 102 (Fundamentals of Computer Science II)
=> CSC 101 (Fundamentals of Computer Science I)
=> MATH 141 or MATH 221
=> CSC 141 (Discrete Structures I); see below
=> CSC 141 (Discrete Structures I)
=> CSC 102 (Fundamentals of Computer Science II); see above
=> MATH 118
=> MATH 119
The topics you should be familiar with are
numbers, sets, relations, functions and trees
propositional and predicate logic
complexity of algorithms
analysis of algorithms
software development process
