The text introduces the theory, operation, and application of genetic algorithms----search algorithms based on the mechanics of natural selection and genetics. This book, suitable for both course work and self-study, brings together for the first time, in an informal, tutorial fashion, the computer techniques, mathematical tools, and research results that will enable both students and practitioners to apply genetic algorithms to problems in many fields: programmers, scientists, engineers, mathematicians, statisticians and management scientists will all find interesting possibilities here. Major concepts are illustrated with running examples, and Pascal computer programs illustrate major algorithms. Chapter concludes with exercises and computer assignments. No prior knowledge of Gas or genetics is assumed.
