The primary reference for the first half of the course is the following book:

Artificial Intelligence: A Modern Approach, 4th US ed. by Stuart Russell and Peter Norvig

You can find a copy of the PDF here. By and large, the following sections of the book are the most relevant:

1. Games: sections 5.1, 5.2, and 5.3
2. CSPs: sections 6.1, 6.2, and 6.3
3. MDPs: sections 17.1, 17.2, and 17.3

Some of the lectures in this set of Youtube videos on CSPs and MDPs would be relevant.
