Book excerpt: It is clear that the techniques of artificial intelligence are useful for more than just the development of thinking machines; they constitute powerful problem-solving tools in their own right and expand the range of problems in science that can be tackled. AI methods can now be used on a routine basis by scientists in academic research as well as the commercial world, it is therefore vital that science students are exposed to, and understand these techniques. This is the first book topresent an introduction to AI methods for science undergraduates. The examples are drawn mainly from chemistry but the book is suited to a general scientific audience wanting to know more about how computers can help to understand and interpret science.
