This book demonstrates all the steps required to design heuristic algorithms for difficult optimization. The classic problem of the travelling salesman is used as a common thread to illustrate all the techniques discussed. This problem is ideal for introducing readers to the subject because it is very intuitive and its solutions can be graphically represented. The book features a wealth of illustrations that allow the concepts to be understood at a glance. One of the reasons for the popularity of metaheuristics is that they allow addressing difficult problems with simple codes. This book contains several pieces of code illustrating how to implement the basic methods discussed. The reader with little interest in programming or not familiar with the programming language used (from C to Python) can skip them.
