"How to Solve It: Modern Heuristics" moves into Top Ten
list from the Association of Computing Machinery
La Jolla, CA - Dr. David Fogel, chief executive officer of Natural Selection, Inc.Ò, reports that his recent book titled "How to Solve It: Modern Heuristics," co-authored by Dr. Zbigniew Michalewicz and published by Springer, has now moved into the ACM's Top Ten list on Amazon.com. The book is placed 7th on ACM's list. "How to Solve It" also became the 10th ranked book on the list of all professional organizations on Amazon.com, and as of 1:15 p.m. today was ranked in the top 5,000 of all books sold through the website. "It's very rewarding to see the book receiving this level of attention," said Dr. Fogel. "Our goal was to write a book that helps people understand problem solving in plain English, rather than present a cookbook of optimization routines. Clearly, that approach is resonating and I'm hopeful that the book will continue to help people for years to come." Posted reviews of the book can be found at Amazon.com.
