Summary

In this chapter, we started with a short introduction to Reinforcement Learning. We talked about agents, rewards and our learning goals in reinforcement learning. In the next section, we introduced MRP which is one of the main concepts underlying MDP. Having an understanding of MRP we next introduce the concepts of MDP along with a code example.
