Abstract
The field of Genetic Algorithms has grown into a huge area over the last few years. Genetic Algorithms are adaptive methods, which can be used to solve search and optimisation problems over a period of generations, based upon the principles of natural selection and survival of the fittest. This paper describes an innovative tool to introduce the basics of the subject of Genetic Algorithms called GAVIn (Genetic Algorithms Visual Interface). It focuses on the domain of numerical function optimisation problems as these form a good basis for learning and operator comparison. The other problem domains are too varied and problem dependent to form a general, robust learning tool.
