Fuzzy Set Theory and its Applications

By Hans-Jürgen Zimmermann

Book Overview

Fuzzy Set Theory - And Its Applications, Third Edition is a textbook for courses in fuzzy set theory. It can also be used as an introduction to the subject. The character of a textbook is balanced with the dynamic nature of the research in the field by including many useful references to develop a deeper understanding among interested readers. The book updates the research agenda (which has witnessed profound and startling advances since its inception some 30 years ago) with chapters on possibility theory, fuzzy logic and approximate reasoning, expert systems, fuzzy control, fuzzy data analysis, decision making and fuzzy set models in operations research. All chapters have been updated. Exercises are included.

An easy and practical approach to fuzzy set theory

The book gives a clear and intuitive description of fuzzy math and its application. The discussions are done neatly and nicely. It doesn't get into hardcore math discussions very much; instead, it focuses on applications and practice. Therefore, it doesn't take much time to get the idea, and you are not bothered with very complex math proofs. The level of the theory is also limited to what needed in application. To my belief this is one of the best books for engineers and applied mathematicians.

Review about Zimmermann's Book !

This book is a kind of essential book. The growth in Fuzzy Science has showed more and more possibilities in applications of its concepts. The book shows the vast applicability of Fuzzy in details and how this new approach can be useful in domains with high degree of uncertainty. I really can recommend the reading of this book for all persons who wishes understand more about Fuzzy !
