Written in an accessible,non-technical and witty style, this book marks the beginning of theAl revolution in geography with major implications for teaching andresearch. The authors provide an easy to understand basicintroduction to Al relevant to geography. There are no specialmathematical and statistical skills needed, indeed these might wellbe a hindrance. Al is a different way of looking at the world andit requires a willingness to experiment, and readers who areunhindered by the baggage of obsolete technologies and outmodedphilosophies of science will probably do best. The text provides anintroduction to expert systems, neural nets, genetic algorithms,smart systems and artificial life and shows how they are likely totransform geographical enquiry.\u003cbr\u003e * A major methodological milestone in geography\u003cbr\u003e * The first geographical book on artificial intelligence (Al)\u003cbr\u003e * No need for previous mathematical or statisticalskills\/knowledge\u003cbr\u003e * Accessible style makes a difficult subject available to a wideaudience\u003cbr\u003e * Stan Openshaw is one of the world s leading researchers intogeographical computing, spatial analysis and GIS.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eArtificial Intelligence and Geography.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e A Brief History of Artificial Intelligence.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Heuristic Search in Geography.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Expert Systems and Intelligent Knowledge-based Systems.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Neurocomputing.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Applying Artificial Neural Networks.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Evolutionary Computation, Genetic Algorithms, Evolution Strategiesand Genetic Programming.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Artificial Life.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Fuzzy Logic, Fuzzy Systems and Soft Computing.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Conclusions and Epilogue.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Index.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Earth sciences [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Earth sciences\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Earth%20sciences%20%5BRB%5D%22\"\u003eRB\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52316709388568,"sku":"9780471969914","price":178.77,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9780471969914.jpg?v=1781822325","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/artificial-intelligence-in-geography-hardback-9780471969914","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
