Publisher's Synopsis
This text covers the fundamental theory of fuzzy logic together with simple applications taken from a wide range of engineering disciplines (electrical, mechanical, civil, computer science). Fuzzy logic explores how a computer deals with ambiguity to control innovative "smart" machines, imitating the imprecise thinking of humans.;The primary focus of this book is applications in a coherent, organized format, complete with a broad cross-section of applications from such fields as expert systems, control, pattern recognition and artificial intelligence. This 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.
