11 Books of Student Papers from John Koza's Courses at Stanford on Genetic Algorithms and Genetic Programming (1993—2000) and Courses on Artificial Life (1993—1994)


These books contain the papers written and submitted by students describing their term projects in John Koza’s courses on genetic algorithms and genetic programming (CS 426 / BMI 226 / EE 392K) and artificial life (CS 425) since 1993. They also contain information on the structure of the courses involved. These books are available from the Custom Publishing Department of the Stanford Bookstore. Student papers in the genetic algorithms and genetic programming courses between 1988 and 1992 were not published in this manner.

These volumes are in the Mathematics and Computer Science Library in the Main Quad at Stanford University.

These volumes are available for purchase directly from the Stanford University Bookstore by calling 650-329-1217 or 800-533-2670 or by writing Stanford Bookstore, Stanford University, Stanford, California 94305-3079 USA. The E-Mail address of the bookstore for mail orders is mailorder@bookstore.stanford.edu.  Be sure to refer to "Custom Publishing" when ordering these items to avoid confusion and to mention the ISBN number (or Stanford Bookstore order number), the exact title.
