Reinforcement learning is one of the fastest growing disciplines and is helping to make AI real. Combining deep learning with reinforcement learning has led to many significant advances that are increasingly getting machines closer to acting the way humans do. In this book, we will start with the basics and finish up with mastering some of the most recent developments in the field. There will be a good mix of theory (with minimal mathematics) and code implementations using PyTorch as well as TensorFlow.

In this chapter, we will set the context and get everything ...
