Topic: Algorithms and computation
Is intelligence computable? Can intelligence be modeled in some fashion using computers? Or is this idea a dead end? In order to decide what "computational intelligence" might mean, we need to know something about computation. We begin this part of the discussion by looking at what a modern computer can do, and how it might be programmed. We use the programming language LISP for several reasons: Firstly, it is a programming language which is likely to be new to everyone in the class, and, secondly, since it is one of the primary languages used in artificial intelligence.
