Introduction
This course provides an introduction to some of the foundational ideas on which modern reinforcement learning is built, including Markov decision processes, value functions, Monte Carlo estimation, dynamic programming, temporal difference learning, eligibility traces, and function approximation. This course will develop an intuitive understanding of these concepts (taking the agent’s perspective), while also focusing on the mathematical theory of reinforcement learning. Programming assignments and projects will require implementing and testing complete decision making systems.

At the end of the course, learners are able to:
1. Build a Reinforcement Learning system for sequential decision making;
2. Understand the space of RL algorithms;
3. Understand how to formalize your task as a Reinforcement Learning problem, and how to begin implementing a solution and;
4. Understand how RL fits under the broader umbrella of machine learning, and how it complements deep learning, supervised and unsupervised learning.
1. Overview of reinforcement learning: the agent environment framework,
successes of reinforcement learning
