The best introduction to reinforcement learning is Sutton and Barto's book. You
will find an on-line version at Sutton's site, as well as a reinforcement
learning FAQ.

The book has one section about TD-Gammon and one section about Samuel's checker
program. It has some greek symbols, but I think they are really hard to avoid in
any RL text! Many chapters are understandable without mathematical knowledge.
