Got this from my dad for xmas, just finished reading. I would highly advise anyone interested in helping people via their programs, to read this book.

"Bravo! I cannot think of a better way for a developer to first learn these algorithms and methods, nor can I think of a better way for me (an old AI dog) to reinvigorate my knowledge of the details." -- Dan Russell, Google

Written by Stuart Russel, Ph. D (stanford) & Peter Norvig director of search quality at Google, previous head of computation sciences division at NASA 8O , also Ph.D ( Berkeley ). Has over 50 publications in computer science. This one was recommended by a slashdot comment I read.

Background in linear algebra, probability and just overall interest in numerals seems to be another prerequisite ;-) For that I got some Knuths and others on the way ;-) For instance do you know what a SVM is? I didn't... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Support_vector_machine
