In this course, we will explore different types of problems, the boundaries of what makes a problem solvable, and the different algorithms, rules, and heuristics we can implement to solve these problems.

Programme de cours : ce que vous apprendrez dans ce cours
Problems for Minds and Machines
This week we will begin our discussions by defining the boundaries and limitations of problems and their solutions.
Computers and Logic
This week we will explore adapting problem-solving approaches into computational methods.
Humans and Heuristics
This week we will discuss judgment and decision making as a different kind of problem-solving and explore how heuristics are used for these tasks.

Meilleurs avis pour METHODS FOR SOLVING PROBLEMS
Increased my critical thinking and decision making.
Some of the resources are broken. Also, there are some quizzes which require revision
it really broaden the way i look and attempt problems
A beautiful introductory course that introduces to the methods of solving and reasoning behind them.
À propos du Spécialisation Mind and Machine
This specialization examines the ways in which our current understanding of human thinking is both illuminated and challenged by the evolving techniques and ideas of artificial intelligence and computer science. Our collective understanding of “minds” – both biological and computational – has been revolutionized over the past half-century by themes originating in fields like cognitive psychology, machine learning, neuroscience, evolutionary psychology, and game theory, among others. This specialization focuses on both the larger “historical” arc of these changes as well as current research directions and controversies.
