Week 11 - Begin Intelligent Search

The material from this week is all about taking a bunch of things we have been talking about this semester and applying them to the domain of solving some simple AI problems. In particular, how you search for a solution in an intelligent manner.

When you took FCCS we talked about Intelligent Search. At the time we talked about it very conceptually. This week we are going to begin to talk about this from a code perspective. Having said that, I want you to review the materials we used in that class so that you can frame the code discussions.
