Mariusz Flasiński is a Full Professor in the Dept. of Information Technology Systems of the Jagiellonian University in Cracow, Poland. His research interests include artificial intelligence, computational intelligence, pattern recognition and image processing, and information management. He is a member of the Geoinformatics Commission of the Polish Academy of Arts and Sciences.

“The book is very useful for computer science, engineering, and allied science students, particularly because of the extensive appendices giving formal mathematical models for AI methods. However, because AI is a multi-disciplinary area today, students and researchers from disciplines like psychology, philosophy, and linguistics who are interested in studying and researching AI further will also benefit from using this book for a first AI course … .” (C. S. Arora, Computing Reviews, January, 2017)
