 最近在做强化学习方面的课题， 发现在强化学习方面被称作强化学习之父的  Sutton  确实很厉害， TD算法和策略梯度策略算法都是他所提出的， 虽然Reinforcement learning 的现在框架是从 Q-learning 开始确定的，但是强化学习做的最早的人之一，对强化学习中经典思想的贡献最多的人估计就是Sutton了，Sutton本硕都是在MIT读的心理学，博士阶段才读的计算机，看来确实是很强的。作为强化学习最经典的论文，也是Sutton的博士毕业论文，很是值得读一读的，寻找该篇论文许久，发现可能是由于该篇论文发表的时间过久，所以所有的数据库都没有收录，唯一收入的应该是Sutton的博士授予的大学 Massachusetts 马萨诸塞州大学，但是由于该文章只向本校学生开发，所以找了几天都没有找到，今天灵机一动，为什么不到作者的个人主页上找一找呢，这一弄还果然发现了它的存在，特此mark一下。
