"Blondie" is a grad student in math at UC San Diego. She skis and surfs and is an ace at math but her real claim to fame is her ability to play checkers. She's not good enough to defeat a grand master (yet), but she eie earn a spot in the top 500 of an international checkers tournament. Surprise! Blondie is a computer program. This book tells how the computer taught itself to play checkers better than its creators could by emulating teh principles of Darwinian evolution and discovering innnovative ways to approach the game. With this work, Fogel demonstrates how evolutionary computation may enable humans to create a thinking machine far more readily that the techniques traditionally used in the study of artificial intelligence. Paperbound, 2001.
