Fuzzy Logic and Mathematics by Radim Belohlavek
The main part of the book is a comprehensive overview of the development of fuzzy logic and its applications in various areas of human affair since its genesis in the mid 1960s. This overview is then employed for assessing the significance of fuzzy logic and mathematics based on fuzzy logic.
While the book certainly contains a very comprehensive and thoughtfully organized, up-to-date overview over almost all research areas connected to fuzzy logic that subscribe to a mathematical methodology, it also provides a highly informative and very balanced account of the debates and controversies that accompanied its history... it is not only invariably informative, but also a pleasure to read: central actors come to life and important events are reviewed in a vivid manner. Moreover, even technical material is presented in an accessible style. ... the book will certainly remain an invaluable resource for more than one class of readers for quite some time. * Christian Fermüller, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews *
Now this book has appeared, there is much that ensures that it will be the classic reference for many years to come. First, the book is rather complete... second, the book covers the history of the field... third, the scientific level is highly adequate. * Alfred Stein, Nieuw Archief voor Wiskunde *
