great expectations and large investments involving Artificial
Intelligence (AI). There are also notable shortfalls and
memorable disappointments. One major controversy regarding AI is
just how mathematical a field it is or should be. This text
includes contributions that examine the connections between AI
and mathematics, demonstrating the potential for mathematical
applications and exposing some of the more mathematical areas
within AI. The goal is to stimulate interest in people who can
contribute to the field or use its results. Included is work by
M. Newborn on the famous Deep Blue chess match. He discusses
highly mathematical techniques involving graph theory,
combinatorics and probability and statistics. G. Shafer offers
his development of probability through probability trees with
some of the results appearing here for the firs
