This is an open set of lecture notes on metaheuristics algorithms, intended for undergraduate students, practitioners, programmers, and other non-experts. It was developed as a series of lecture notes for an undergraduate course I taught at GMU. The chapters are designed to be printable separately if necessary. As it’s lecture notes, the topics are short and light on examples and theory. It’s best when complementing other texts. With time, I might remedy this.
