We evolved general solutions to factorial, Fibonacci, exponentiation, even-n-Parity, and nth-3. We report the computational effort required to evolve these methods and provide a comparison between crossover and mutation variation operators, and also undirected random search. We found that the evolutionary algorithms performed much better than undirected random search, and that mutation outperformed crossover on most problems. %@ 3-540-33143-3
