Review
"This is an outstanding book. It takes the reader close to the current knowledge frontier ??? . The book??'s writing style is lively and educational, and this makes it extremely interesting ??? . is intended for students and practitioners. ??? is an excellent choice for a course on heuristics ??? . One of the most comprehensive views ??? is provided in this book. It is written to be read and understood ??? . is a must-read and must-have for anyone engaged in the art of problem solving." (Dimitrios Katsaros, Computing Reviews, April, 2005)
Product Description
This book is the only source that provides comprehensive, current, and correct information on problem solving using modern heuristics. It covers classic methods of optimization, including dynamic programming, the simplex method, and gradient techniques, as well as recent innovations such as simulated annealing, tabu search, and evolutionary computation. Integrated into the discourse is a series of problems and puzzles to challenge the reader. The book is written in a lively, engaging style and is intended for students and practitioners alike. Anyone who reads and understands the material in the book will be armed with the most powerful problem solving tools currently known.
