Overview
- Introduction to Fuzzy Set Theory
- Analyzes the relationship between computers, human brains and fuzzy mathematics
- Introduces fuzzy relations, fuzzy matrices and fuzzy control and discusses fuzzy probability statistics and fuzzy linear programming
- Shows that Fuzzy Set Theory can be an answer to the following questions: What can be done when computers have limitations? And what should be done when traditional mathematics can't solve ambiguous problems in our real world?
