\par \quad  Artificial Intelligence  has rapidly evolved from a speculative concept to a transformative force reshaping industries, societies, and our everyday lives. This book, {\bf{Artificial Intelligence-Theory and Practice}}, is designed as a comprehensive introduction to the foundational principles, core techniques, and real-world applications of AI, tailored for students, educators, and practitioners who seek both breadth and depth in their understanding of this dynamic field. The structure of the book reflects a deliberate progression-from fundamental ideas to specialized domains and advanced topics. It begins with the essential concepts and mathematical tools that underpin AI, ensuring that readers develop a solid theoretical base. It then explores classical AI techniques such as search, problem solving, and knowledge representation, followed by a deep dive into machine learning, which is at the heart of most modern AI systems. The subsequent sections cover specialized areas including natural language processing, and computer vision that exemplify the power and versatility of AI technologies.
