I am not a mathematician but want to dive into AI. I did a search on Amazon and like tens of thousands of books appeared on the shelf (well, almost).
Which one should I pick as a AI beginner with not much mathematical knowledge? I mean I don't want a book that explains everything by formulas only. I had one like that a few years ago and stopped thinking about AI.
Russel and Norvig is the canonical one.
I bought this book 2 years ago when I wanted to start learn about AI:
Artificial Intelligence: A Beginner's Guide (Beginners Guide), by Blay Whitby
It's very basic and everything is explained in a way anyone can relate to. Also it's not a lot to read. A good place to start out to learn the basic concepts.
An introduction to AI by his father would be "Society of Mind" by Marvin Minsky.
Practical Artificial Intelligence Programming With Java, Third Edition, by Mark Watson
A decent amount of code, but not much math. Plus it's free for non-commercial use.
I think something like this goes into just the right amount of depth:
Introduction to Artificial Intelligence: Second, Enlarged Edition, by Philip C. Jackson Jr.
There's some mathematics, but it's minimal. It's a Dover book, so it doesn't cost very much either.

Pretty much as the title, is there a medical industry equivalent document, standard or set of either to the auto industry's MISRA?
I'm working in the area of C, but anything language agnostic would be good too
Further to the earlier answers, I'd be interested to know why you feel MISRA would not be suitable?
Yes, I accept fully that MISRA-C:1998 was titled and targeted at Vehicle Based Software but the second edition in 2004 has already changed to Guidelines for the Use of the C Language in Critical Systems, and as such MISRA is applicable to all industries - and (for example) is a reference document for the Joint Strike Fighter coding standards.
MISRA-C has most definitely been adopted by the nuclear and medical industries.
And (putting my MISRA Working Group member hat on for one moment, although I'm posting in a personal capacity only) if there are any specific issues relating to MISRA-C's application to medical devices, then I'm happy to discuss here and/or raise with the team.
You should use "MISRA-C:2004 Guidelines for the use of the C language in critical systems". There is nothing in MISRA-C that doesn't apply to med tech programs.
It is not directed to the automotive industry specifically, it was merely invented by them.
Not that I'm aware of. Medical device industry is much less organized around coding standards, each company having its own process.
Why don't you just adopt a subset of MISRA?

I am looking for some good online sources which explain process sychronization,process and threads with practical examples.
i have gone through a lot of theoritical stuff but always face confusion and difficulties when actually trying implement them.
This is a link where you can find the code very useful for thread synchronization.
I started on Tanenbaum's (Wikipedia) "Modern Operating Systems" book then moved on to Linux From Scratch. For practical examples OSDev here and here is a mine of information when you become really hands on. Otherwise, for Windows specifics there are no shortage of books or MSDN literature.
I found Tanenbaum a very entertaining read, he invented the Minix OS which he uses for real world examples. Minix is from around the same era as Linux. Have a look at some of the very early Linux source code release (eg 0.1 or therabouts if you don't want to lose a year of your life studying pure code).
Wikipedia Is Always The Best Online Tutorial Guide. However u can also Check This Link.. If you would like to go with a Pdf Book then u can click Here.. Its really Good Book
this link for NACHOS may be a good help for you. In our undergraduate class we did some good assignments in OS course.

I want to dive into AI topic. I'm specifically interested in multiagent systems. What resources, book, etc. can you recommend to get started, from the very beginning? If that matters I'm a .NET developer.
You can check out my free Multiagent Systems Textbook.
This is the book I used at Uni :
Artificial Intelligence: A Modern Approach (International Edition)
I found it to be excellent and easy to understand.
I know of two books that are very good resources in multi-agent systems and provide algorithmic view of it:
Multiagent Systems: Algorithmic, Game-Theoretic, and Logical Foundations(free download)
Fundamentals of Multiagent Systems with NetLogo Examples (free download)
Two other books for anyone else that comes across this question:
Essentials of Metaheuristics goes over many commonly used approaches in modern AI.
and
Swarm Intelligence: From Natural to Artificial Systems a bit old, but good fundamentals of nature-inspired swarm techniques.

I've become interested in AI and want to keep up with the latest AI research. Can someone recommend the top 2-3 AI journals I should read?
Some good journals are:
Journal of Artificial Intelligence Research (JAIR)
Artificial Intelligence
Also JMLR (Journal of Machine Learning Research) is a GREAT journal (as mentioned in another post), but it deals only with Machine Learning (a subset of AI) and not with other AI related fields.
Perhaps a bit broader in scope for your interests but take a look at the Journal of Machine Learning Research and it's sister software repository Machine learning open source software.
If you really want to know the latest advances in AI you should also pay attention to high profile conferences such as:
International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence (IJCAI)
Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AAAI)

Im an experienced actionscript developer, and relatively new to Objective C.
I decided a good investment of my time would be to master the C language (not C# or C++).
Can anyone recommend the 'best' online tutorials for learning C?
You won't have difficulties understanding the C syntax given your past experience, and unfortunately, most tutorials and introductory books will focus on it much more than they should.
C is full of traps, but it is a simple language which gives you full control on what is going on with your programs. However, it is difficult to master. You will need something more elaborated than a simple tutorial which will be half full of things you probably already know.
I definitely recommand K&R's book if you want to learn the language correctly. Be sure to grab the second edition.
I agree with James' comment, though I would recommend looking over the first paragraphs of a web based tutorial.
Though they're not the best for learning the language itself, you can get a feel for some trivial programs and see if they fit your brain.
The worst thing that can happen here is if you buy a book and can't use the language (for whatever reason).
As far as specific selections... I can't give you any.
As you've asked for online resources only, so here is one
http://www.cprogramming.com/tutorial/c/lesson1.html
Like Alexandre , I would also recommend K & R's book
You should check this out too:
http://www.phy.duke.edu/~rgb/General/c_book/c_book/index.html
I've looked through it, it's got some good examples and it's a good read.
