The Asian Board Game Go is the new frontier of AI programming, see for instance http://www.spiegel.de/netzwelt/web/google-schlaegt-facebook-in-go-spiel-software-a-1074259.html Unless Chess, the previous frontier, Go is rather unknown in Europe. In this course you will learn the rules of the game Go and the important strategic principles.
(This course is just about learning to *play* Go , but neither about artificial intelligence nor about how to program a Go engine.)
You get 3 CP if you regularly attend the course.
