A First Course in Fuzzy and Neural Control

By Hung T. Nguyêñ, Carol L. Walker, Nadipuram R. Prasad, et al.

Books on fuzzy control rarely cover traditional methods, while books on traditional control practically never cover fuzzy and neural control techniques. As a result, fuzzy control is sometimes used where traditional control methods would work much better. A First Course in Fuzzy and Neural Control covers the methodology and the basics of traditional, fuzzy, and neural control. Since it is the first to fill this niche, this pioneering book has been adopted as a text by many schools, as was the authors' previous First Course book. It will also be of great interest to researchers and practitioners, because it will enable them to narrow the gaps in their understanding of fuzzy and traditional control.

Excellent introduction Fuzzy Logic theory

What I really liked in this book is that it is not an applications book. There is one chapter on practical applications, but the rest of the book goes through lots of definitions and theorems. So if you are interested in Fuzzy Logic as Logic (and not as a tool you an use) then you will like this book.

prof. review

this is the best intro to fuzzy ever writen....im a university prof on the subject of AI so...Ive read tons of books on the subject and this is by far the best intro to fuzzy even for those who ll be learning on their own... very simple put and yet very abording on the matter!

A First Course in Fuzzy Logic

If you are looking for a book on Fuzzy Logic Theory, this is a good book. It explains the mathematical basis of fuzzy logic, the mathmatical symbols used, provides proofs for theorems, etc. The chapters and sections are clearly labeled in the table of contents, making it easy to zero in on a topic. It is a College Text Book, with problems to solve at the end of each chapter. Selected problems have answers in the back of the book. Unfortunately, that wasn't the type of book that I expected or needed. I was looking more for the hands on, how to, type of book. That is the only reason it did not get 5 stars.

Outstanding, for people who are interested in this area

This is the clearest explanation and application of fuzzy logic that has been published. It is thorough, without being arcane or pedantic.
