This short book introduces the major concepts in genetic programming under the angle of multi-objective optimization in high-dimensional spaces. We learn about the elementary operator of genetic programming such as cross-over, mutation, and candidate selection (with or without elitism). A good quick introduction to genetic programming, with just the right dash of math!
