Welcome to CSE 473! This quarter,
we will be using the Python programming language for the first time in CSE 473.
Python
has been gaining popularity for a variety of different kinds
of programming, including artificial intelligence programming.
Many programmers like its simple syntax based in part on
indentation rather than the use of parentheses. Like the
traditional AI language Lisp, Python provides good support
for list processing, functional programming,
automatic memory management, and interactive
development. High-quality Python tools are freely available on the World
Wide Web. Students taking CSE 473 do not need to have any prior
experience with Python. The course will cover the essentials
of Python during the first week.

On Monday, April 2, all members of the class are invited to a showing
of the movie "Artificial Intelligence". Members of the class may bring a guest.
Start time: 7:30 PM. The screening will (tentatively) take place
in the Gates Commons on the 6th floor of the Paul Allen
Center for Computer Science and Engineering.
