The items listed at each week are approximate: they can be used to guide one's textbook reading. Textbooks are a few that range widely over PAMI viewpoint taken. Each student should select one appropriate to his/her needs and interests.

IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence is a journal where basic research items appear. Many book sources are books listed on the next page. Other IEEE Transactions and other non-IEEE but refereed journals are also sources of PAMI materials.
