Product Description

This book describes the theory, operation, and application of genetic algorithms-search algorithms based on the mechanics of natural selection and genetics.

From the Back Cover

This book brings together - in an informal and 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.

Major concepts are illustrated with running examples, and major algorithms are illustrated by Pascal computer programs. No prior knowledge of GAs or genetics is assumed, and only a minimum of computer programming and mathematics background is required.

5.0 out of 5 stars Explains *and* entertains, 23 April 1999

By A Customer

I bought this book while I was a working professional. It is one of the few textbooks that I have ever read straight through, like a novel. In addition to making everything clear and interesting, the book was even funny at times! I didn't think that was allowed in textbooks. ;-)

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for getting started., 19 Dec 1999

By A Customer

I have a background in computing and biology but my maths is sketchy. I found this book a perfect practical introduction to the mathematical side - from basic principles to advanced GA theory. This book provides an exelent introduction to practical GA application. The first few chapters document a simple GA (SGA)written in Pascal (easily understandable to anyone with programming experience) to get you started. In all a very usefull book for those new to GA's.

5.0 out of 5 stars The definitive introduction to genetic algorithms, 27 Sep 1996

By A Customer

More than seven years after publication, David Goldberg's clear prose, straightforward code examples, and solid theoretical coverage keeps "the blue book" head-and-shoulders above any other text on this most intriguing of algorithmic directions. This is the book that lifted genetic algorithms from obscurity to one of the most discussed (and misunderstood) of emerging technologies. Goldberg did not invent genetic algorithms (that honor goes to either Nature or John Holland, depending on your personal belief system), but he did make sure that they could be understood by any interested programmer. The source code is in Pascal, which may not be to everyone's taste, but is certainly readable by anyone with a programming background. - Larry O'Brien (Editor, AI Expert Magazine 1990-1994)
