Hi!

I am currently writing a (free and open) e-book called "Global Optimization - Theory and Application". It is about genetic algorithms, evolutionary algorithms, evolution strategy, leaning classifier systems, simulated annealing, and so on. I hope that I can make this topic more interesting for students and fellow researchers and help people to get started with it. Of course, the book is still very incomplete and probably has also errors, but I try to improve it very much.

You can find it at http://www.it-weise.de/projects/book.pdf, I will update it regularly.

Constructive criticism is always welcom, as well as new suggestions on what to include in the book.

Kind regards,
Thomas.
