Critics Review

From the reviews:

“A well written book which enables to the reader fundamental orientation in the fuzzy logic. From the educational point of view the book is very well organized. … Majority of chapters begin with several motivation examples and at the end of each chapter there are a lot of solved and unsolved examples. … dedicated to undergraduate students as a textbook. … it may be suitable for readers from the application sphere who are not professionals in fuzzy logic but utilize some fuzzy methods … .” (Petr Vysoky, Neural Network World, Vol. 13 (4), 2003)

“The book is an undergraduate textbook covering as an impressively broad range of topics … . The book is well-written … each of the chapters providing basic definitions, examples, and exercises. … The book is intended as an introductory textbook on the theory of fuzzy sets, functioning as the basis for a curriculum in fuzzy systems. … I would recommend the book to the reader who wants to get an introductory overview of how much of mathematics can be fuzzified.” (Marc Pauly, Expert Update, Vol. 5 (2), 2002)

“This book is an undergraduate introduction to the theory of fuzzy sets, giving basic information for beginners. … Each chapter ends with a set of relevant problems and exercises. … The book can be recommended as a good textbook for students and beginners in computer science, engineering or economics interested in non-probabilistic uncertainty modeling.” (R. Mesiar, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 985, 2002)
