I'm writing an entry on tree-searching algorithms, but it strikes me that my life'd be much easier if there was an entry which explained what trees are which I could just link to.... anyone know of such an entry, or already writing one, or want to write one?
Please?

i haven't studied trees formally, but aren't they quite simple?
ie a sries of states that are linked by decisions, such that decisions are one-way (you can't climb back down the tree) and unambiguous (one and only one decision is correct)
i find this is a useful site for maths in general, maybe it has an entry on trees?
