Description
Using material from a successful course on fuzzy logic, this book is an introduction to the theory of fuzzy sets: mathematical objects modeling the vagueness of our natural language when we describe phenomena that do not have sharply defined boundaries. The book provides background information necessary to apply fuzzy set theory in various areas, including engineering, fuzzy logic, and decision making. The exercises at the end of each chapter serve to deepen the reader's understanding of the concepts, and to test their ability to make the necessary calculations.
