Description
Genetic algorithms have been used in science and engineering to solve practical problems and model natural evolutionary systems. This introduction provides an accessible overview of the field, enabling readers to implement and experiment with genetic algorithms themselves. The book explores interesting research topics, including machine learning, scientific modeling, and artificial life, and reviews a broad range of research, covering disciplines such as dynamical systems theory, game theory, molecular biology, ecology, evolutionary biology, and population genetics. It includes thought-provoking exercises to build on the reader's understanding. Suitable for students and researchers in any scientific discipline, this book provides a comprehensive introduction to genetic algorithms, including their applications and modeling projects.
