I've read a couple of introductory sections of books as well as a few papers on both topics, and it looks to me that these two methods are pretty much exactly the same. That said, I haven't had the...

I'm writing a genetic algorithm and I plan to move from roulette wheel selection to tournament selection, but I suspect my understanding may be flawed.
If I'm only selecting the n/2 best solutions...

What is evolutionary computation? Is it a method of reinforcement learning? Or a separate method of machine learning? Or maybe none?
Please, cite references used to answer this question.

Can someone please explain the Differential Evolution method? The Wikipedia definition is extremely technical.
A dumbed-down explanation followed by a simple example would be appreciated :)
