Most Important Mathematics in Advanced AI/Robotics

DevLiquidKnight · 2013-01-30T05:07:04

What would constitute the very most important mathematics used in AI and Robotics? Not just game AI, all AI, I realize the obvious answer here is "everything" but I am looking for something more specific. Like, I can see probability being used in machine learning, linear algebra is a given. Anything else?

Robotics probably means optical/sensory interpretation would be part of the maths.

Im not sure of the names of the areas of mathematics for the different cognitive/perception processing.

Would include mass data algorithms, filtering, pattern feature conversion and matching.

Triangulation for 3D vision...

Isnt Fuzzy Mathematics part of another more general classificaltion ?

I'm still sticking with addition... because without it, the rest of y'all are screwed.
