Booknews
Starting with an analysis of algorithms and their complexity, 15 chapters discuss topics including program testing, smooth and non- smooth discrete optimization, genetic algorithms, neural networks, optimization techniques, expert systems and the basics of fuzzy logic, chaos and fractals, and computer vision. Eleven appendices expand upon areas such as simulated annealing, statistical methods, software and computer costs, Pn-Junctions, allocating bandwidth, algorithm complexity, and robot control. A text for seniors or beginning graduate students. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
