Publisher's Synopsis
This book aims to introduce readers without a strong mathematical background to the basic ideas of fuzzy set theory and logic. Fuzzy mathematics is the mathematics of vagueness, a universal property of this world. There are many objects that are called vague because they cannot be precisely defined. Since vagueness is so common, a tool is needed to describe it and to effectively deal with it. Fuzzy mathematics is such a tool, and it is used by most researchers and scholars. As such, this book provides a short overview of the field written for non-specialists. This book allows readers to delve into the theory of fuzzy sets and introduces core mathematical ideas without using the usual formalities of books in mathematics, i.e. theorems, proofs, etc.
