This paper first illustrates the motivations of the author for teaching evolutionary computation and supervising students interested in this field. Then it describes the evolutionary computation course taught by the author at the School of Computer Science of The University of Birmingham for the last four years. Finally, the paper describes the lessons learnt from doing this.

conclusions our findings show that, at provincial levels, a complex set of known/unknown influencing factors affect individuals’ assessments of their own health quality. understanding these patterns of srh and ls could be useful for better health policy and more targeted studies in this field. background self-rated health (srh) and life satisfaction (ls) are of increasing interest to medical re...

in this paper, we propose the chebyshev wavelet approximation for the numerical solution of a class of integro-differential equation which describes the charged particle motion for certain configurations of oscillating magnetic fields. we show that the chebyshev approximation transform an integral equation to an explicit system of linear algebraic equations. illustrative examples are included t...

Small fluctuations around homogeneous and isotropic expanding backgrounds are the main object of study in cosmology. Their origin evolution is sensitive to physical processes that happen during inflation late Universe. As such, they hold key answering many major open questions Given a large separation relevant scales examples interest, most natural description these formulated terms effective f...
