Purpose and Content

The aim of the course	Difficults in solving complex practical problems by using traditional Optimization and Search metods. Genetic Algorithms as a new tool for solving such problems.
Course Content	Investicatoin of the structures of traditional optimization and search methods, difficults in their applications to the practical problems. GA as a new approach in this situations. Basics of the GA structure, its application requirements, properties of the application areas, examples of its using to solve problems that is difficult to solve by traditional approaches.
