Fuzzy Logic With Engineering Applications

Rating:
Summary: The least fuzzy book on fuzzy logic
Review: If you decide to buy a book on fuzzy logic or applications of fuzzy logic, this is absolutely the best book for introductory level. In other words, this source gives a non-fuzzy and comprehensive knowledge to reader.
I strongly recommend this book to everybody for an exact comprehensive introduction to the theory of Zadeh.

Summary: Excelent for a fisrt course in fuzzy logic and systems
Review: The way the fuzzy paradigm is introduced and developed is very inspiring for those that come from more traditional ways of thinking. The author makes the transition from classical logic to fuzzy logic in a very clear way. The fields of aplication of fuzzy logic are very well represented in the book. I would stongly support the author to publish a second edition of the book.

Summary: excellent reference book
Review: Very good book for a solid background on Fuzzy Logic. Highly reccomented. Ross is a very involved author and supported of Fuzzy logic. Try to solve some of the problems in the book. They provide much inside on real applications of the fuzzy logic Theory

Summary: Much better fuzzy logic books are out there.
Review: With the exception of Ch. 1, the first part of the book is o.k. To see my problem with chapter 1, simply look at the article on bounded rationality he uses in his discussion of a chess game. First, several parts of the article are coppied word for word directly in his text; I have no problem with this, but they should appear in quotes. Second, I don't think his analysis of the article is accurate.
Ross does an excellent job of introducing binary logic and extending the results to fuzzy logic. However, other than this one chapter, the rest of the rest of the book is not worth the read. A much better book is by Yager and Filev. I went with Ross' text because it was published in 2004 (you know, latest is greatest) compared to the 1995 publishing of Yager's book. Don't make the same mistake, just get Yager's book; you will learn more and save yourself some money!
