At a time when the question of machine intelligence was just beginning to captivate the academic world, Artificial Intelligence: An Introductory Course arrived as an essential gateway into one of the twentieth century's most consequential scientific frontiers. Compiled and edited by Alan Bundy of the University of Edinburgh — a pioneering institution in AI research — this anthology brings together foundational lectures and course material that systematically introduce the core concepts, methodologies, and challenges of artificial intelligence, from knowledge representation and problem-solving to search strategies and logical inference. The text is structured for accessibility without sacrificing rigour, making it an authoritative primer for students and researchers encountering the discipline for the first time. Rooted in the rich intellectual tradition of Edinburgh's Department of Artificial Intelligence, this volume reflects the collaborative and interdisciplinary spirit that defined early AI scholarship. Bundy's editorial hand ensures a cohesive progression through complex topics, presenting a discipline that sits at the crossroads of mathematics, cognitive science, and computer science. Decades after its first publication, the questions it raises about the nature of reasoning, learning, and machine cognition remain as urgent and unresolved as ever — making it a historical document as much as a scientific one.
