Genetic Algorithms

An Introduction to Genetic Algorithms for Scientists and Engineers

By David Coley, World Scientific Press, 1999 (US$28 / £19.04)

This book has been written both as a general introduction to genetic algorithms for students, and as a primer for scientists and engineers who think they might be able to use genetic algorithms to solve some of their problems.

These pages contain the preface and contents page of the book, together with  updated copies of the software included with the book, including genetic algorithms in BASIC, FORTRAN, PASCAL and C.
