Description

Reinforcement Learning Fundamentals: The Complete Beginner-to-Advanced Guide

This course is your structured path from zero RL knowledge to building intelligent agents that learn from experience. You’ll start with foundational theory—Markov Decision Processes, Bellman equations—then progress to Q-learning, Monte Carlo, Temporal Difference, and deep RL—all implemented cleanly in Python.

What You’ll Build

  • A Tic-Tac-Toe AI that learns optimal play through self-play
  • A grid-world explorer using Q-learning and SARSA
  • A Blackjack simulator using Monte Carlo methods
  • A Deep Q-Network for Atari-style games

Why Learn RL in 2025?

  • Autonomous systems—drones, robots, self-driving cars all use RL
  • Personalization—Netflix, Spotify, and Amazon use RL for recommendation
  • Game AI—from chess engines to NPC behavior in video games
  • High-paying roles—RL engineers are among the highest-paid in AI

Course Structure

  1. Theory—MDPs, policies, value functions, discounting
  2. Tabular methods—Monte Carlo, TD(0), Q-learning, SARSA
  3. Approximation methods—linear function approximation
  4. Deep RL—DQN, experience replay, target networks
  5. Projects—from board games to OpenAI Gym

Who Is This For?

  • Python developers with basic ML knowledge
  • Students preparing for AI/ML interviews
  • Researchers needing a solid RL foundation
  • Hobbyists building game-playing bots

No PhD Required

Math is explained intuitively—with visuals, analogies, and code. You’ll understand why algorithms work, not just how to run them.
