Abstract
Perhaps this is a required textbook for a course, perhaps you want to learn about evolutionary algorithms (EAs), or perhaps you just pick up this book occasionally. In this simple chapter, we will discuss the necessity, definition, original idea, branches, and information resources of EAs. We hope it will command your attention and stimulate you to read the other chapters.
