Product Description
Fuzzy logic refers to a large subject dealing with a set of methods to characterize and quantify uncertainty in engineering systems that arise from ambiguity, imprecision, fuzziness, and lack of knowledge. Fuzzy logic is a reasoning system based on a foundation of fuzzy set theory, itself an extension of classical set theory, where set membership can be partial as opposed to all or none, as in the binary features of classical logic. Fuzzy logic is a relatively new discipline in which major advances have been made over the last decade or so with regard to theory and applications. Following on from the successful first edition, this fully updated new edition is therefore very timely and much anticipated. Concentration on the topics of fuzzy logic combined with an abundance of worked examples, chapter problems and commercial case studies is designed to help motivate a mainstream engineering audience, and the book is further strengthened by the inclusion of an online solutions manual as well as dedicated software codes. Senior undergraduate and postgraduate students in most engineering disciplines, academics and practicing engineers, plus some working in economics, control theory, operational research etc, will all find this a valuable addition to their bookshelves.

 The least fuzzy book on fuzzy logic June 5, 2002

If you decide to buy a book on fuzzy logic or applications of fuzzy logic, this is absolutely the best book for introductory level. In other words, this source gives a non-fuzzy and comprehensive knowledge to reader.
I strongly recommend this book to everybody for an exact comprehensive introduction to the theory of Zadeh.
excellent reference book July 5, 2002

Very good book for a solid background on Fuzzy Logic. Highly reccomented. Ross is a very involved author and enthousiastic supporter of Fuzzy logic theory use in problem solving. Try to solve some of the problems in the book. They provide much inside on real applications of the fuzzy logic Theory
Excelent for a fisrt course in fuzzy logic and systems November 3, 2002
Antonio Dourado (Coimbra PORTUGAL)
The way the fuzzy paradigm is introduced and developed is very inspiring for those that come from more traditional ways of thinking. The author makes the transition from classical logic to fuzzy logic in a very clear way. The fields of aplication of fuzzy logic are very well represented in the book. I would stongly support the author to publish a second edition of the book.
The simplest way of presentation made this book useful. March 31, 1999

I enjoyed reading this book especially for its simplicity and wide coverage. I recommended it to many of my students and colleagues, for having a deep understanding of the subject in an informal but systemetic approach.
A basic (but expensive) text for grasping Fuzzy Logic ideas March 30, 1999
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
This book can serve as a starting point for doing fuzzy logic. It lacks the rigorous mathematical development of Klir's texts, and the broader contextual overview (with math) of Kosko's texts but after reading it the student can begin doing some fuzzy logic work. The problem is that it without the more rigorous backgrounds provided by other more advanced works the student can stumble into using fuzzy reasoning incorrectly. I would recommend it to undergraduates, and people who want to use it to clarify stuff from other more theoretical sources, but advise using caution in taking it at face value. I do know that Louisiana Tech uses it as a starting point for some of their undergraduate students
