Introduction

Artificial Intelligence involves building machines to perform tasks we would consider intelligent if done by a human. You can study a range of topics from perception, learning and mathematical reasoning to designing robots or intelligent web agents. Computer Science concerns the understanding, design and use of computing systems from individual electronic components to vast networks such as the internet. This programme is based on the mathematics and logic of algorithms, which are the foundation of programming. It also includes the study of cutting-edge computing techniques and issues.
