At times I find it more appealing to recreate work rather than reading about it.

• (20000204) Formula Conjecture - for the closed form of a summation.
• (19991021) Binary Insertion Sort - is the proper name. By odd luck, I named it "binary sort".
• (19991019) Graph Theory - a set of obvious conjectures that I made one night.
• (19981125) The Effect of the Average Hamming Distance of the Initial Population on the Convergence Rate of a Population Run - My first paper on GAs. It's sooo cute!

Please, I would love your feedback on any of these papers. Send correspondence to theory@briarskin.com.

Do you want to learn more about the wonderful world of genetic algorithms? Then go and buy yourself this book. It is the first and best that I have ever read on the subject. Author Melanie Mitchell presents concepts in a logical and interesting manner. Some college-level math skills would be useful in order to get the most out of this book. Genetic algorithms are an exciting and creative branch of computer science, and this book does excellent work in showing this to be true. What? Don't look at me like that.
