It looks like Artificial Intelligence: A Modern Approach has been re-added to the up-to-date course list, near the bottom. Some of the books removed from the old course list will get recommended in the introduction to the new Sequences eBook, where they’re more relevant: The Oxford Handbook of Thinking and Reasoning, Thinking and Deciding, Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality, Good and Real, and Universal Artificial Intelligence.
Boolos et al.‘s Computability and Logic replaces Mendelson’s Introduction to Mathematical Logic, Sipser’s Introduction to the Theory of Computation, and Cutland’s Computability. Jaynes’ Probability Theory and Koller/Friedman’s Probabilistic Graphical Models replace Mitzenmacher/Upfal’s Probability and Computing and Feller’s Introduction to Probability Theory. Godel Escher Bach and the recommendations on functional programming, algorithms, numerical analysis, quantum computing, parallel computing, and machine learning are no more. If people found some of the removed textbooks useful, perhaps we can list them on a LW wiki page like http://wiki.lesswrong.com/wiki/Programming_resources.
