This unique work introduces the basic principles of artificial
intelligence with applications in geographical teaching and
research, GIS, and planning. Written in an accessible,
non-technical and witty style, this book marks the beginning of the
Al revolution in geography with major implications for teaching and
research. The authors provide an easy to understand basic
introduction to Al relevant to geography. There are no special
mathematical and statistical skills needed, indeed these might well
be a hindrance. Al is a different way of looking at the world and
it requires a willingness to experiment, and readers who are
unhindered by the baggage of obsolete technologies and outmoded
philosophies of science will probably do best. The text provides an
introduction to expert systems, neural nets, genetic algorithms,
smart systems and artificial life and shows how they are likely to
transform geographical enquiry.
