Features: Computational intelligence is a theory and methodology for simulating human intelligence in solving problems, based on models (computational models, mathematical models) and characterized by distributed parallel computing. This book systematically presents the fundamental theories and methods of computational intelligence. The book is divided into three parts: Part I discusses simulation evolutionary computation theory from the perspective of simulating the generation process of intelligence; Part II discusses artificial neural network theory from the perspective of simulating the structure of intelligence; Part III discusses fuzzy logic and fuzzy reasoning from the perspective of simulating intelligent behavior. The book highlights the fundamentals (especially the mathematical foundation), emphasizes the context (especially the biological and engineering context), and focuses on research and development. This book can be used as a textbook for undergraduate students in information and computational science or mathematical and applied mathematics as a major or elective course. It can also serve as a textbook for graduate students in operations research and control, information science, computer science, and systems science. Additionally, it can be referenced by teachers and researchers engaged in computational intelligence research and application.
