"How To Solve It: Modern Heuristics Breaks Top 2000 on Amazon.com"

La Jolla, CA -- "How To Solve It: Modern Heuristics," co-authored by Dr. David Fogel, chief executive officer of Natural Selection, Inc.Ò, broke into the top 2000 of all books sold on Amazon.com today, peaking with a ranking of 1893. "It's very gratifying to see this support for technical book on problem solving," said Dr. Fogel. "I think it reflects the style that Zbyszek Michalewicz [Dr. Fogel's co-author] and I adopted of an engaging book that challenges the reader, rather than the typical tedious approach of merely listing optimization algorithms. I'm particularly pleased by the reviews of the book, some indicating that it has received very positive feedback in the classroom. It's very gratifying."

"How To Solve It: Modern Heuristics," published by Springer, is the most complete and up-to-date compendium of traditional and novel problem-solving techniques useful for industry, biotechnology, and government applications. The book presents a series of puzzles for the reader to test their problem-solving skills along with hints for addressing real-world situations.
