Genetic algorithm ebook download

Mitchell's work is sure to become the field's new standard source and text. This is the best general book on Genetic algorithms written to date. It covers background, history, and motivation; it selects important, informative examples of applications and discusses the use of Genetic algorithms in scientific models; and it gives a good account of the status of the theory of Genetic algorithms. Best of all the book presents its material in clear, straightforward, felicitous prose, accessible to anyone with a college-level scientific background.

If you want a broad, solid understanding of Genetic algorithms—where they came from, what's being done with them, and where they are going—this is the book. Melanie Mitchell has written an excellent introduction to genetic algorithms, one of the most promising branches of machine learning.

GAs, with their minimal demands on the programmer together with heavy exploitation of computing cycles, and uniquely well-positioned to take advantage of the vastly increased availability of computer cycles made covering both traditional GA methods and the recent wealth of GA variants, and also providing details on GA implementation, theoretical foundations, and scientific applications.

Melanie Mitchel has successfully assembled a collection of recent applications that convey the excitement and potential of genetic algorithms in solving an array of otherwise difficult or intractable problems.

It covers background, history, and motivation; it selects important, informative examples of applications and discusses the use of Genetic Algorithms in scientific models; and it gives a good account of the status of the theory of Genetic Algorithms.

How to Think About Algorithms. There are many algorithm texts that provide lots of well-polished code and proofs of correctness. This book is not one of them. Instead, this book presents insights, notations, and analogies to help the novice describe and think about algorithms like an expert.

By looking at both the big picture and easy step-by-step methods for developing algorithms, the author helps students avoid the common pitfalls. He stresses paradigms such as loop invariants and recursion to unify a huge range of algorithms into a few meta-algorithms.

Part of the goal is to teach the students to think abstractly. Without getting bogged with formal proofs, the book fosters a deeper understanding of how and why each algorithm works.
