2 more Free Stanford Classes in Computer Science: ‘Introduction to Artificial Intelligence’ and ‘Introduction to Databases’
Since we mentioned a ‘bold experiment in distributed education’, the Stanford Machine Learning Course that has already attracted more than 30,000 participants, it appears that 2 more courses are being offered on the same model:
Introduction to Artificial Intelligence:
“Introduction to Artificial Intelligence” will be offered free and online to students worldwide during the fall of 2011. the course will include feedback on progress and a statement of accomplishment. Taught by Sebastian Thrun and Peter Norvig, the curriculum draws from that used in Stanford’s introductory Artificial Intelligence course. the instructors will offer similar materials, assignments, and exams.
Artificial Intelligence is the science of making computer software that reasons about the world around it. Humanoid robots, Google Goggles, self-driving cars, even software that suggests music you might like to hear are all examples of AI. In this class, you will learn how to create this software from two of the leaders in the field. Class begins October 10.
Details on the course, including a syllabus is available HERE. Sign up HERE to receive additional information about participating in the online version when it becomes available.
Introduction to Databases:
This course covers database design and the use of database management systems for applications. it includes extensive coverage of the relational model, relational algebra, and SQL. it also covers XML data including DTDs and XML Schema for validation, and the query and transformation languages XPath, XQuery, and XSLT. the course includes database design in UML, and relational design principles based on dependencies and normal forms. many additional key database topics from the design and application-building perspective are also covered: indexes, views, transactions, authorization, integrity constraints, triggers, on-line analytical processing (OLAP), and emerging “NoSQL” systems.
