Fuzzy Logic with Engineering Applications, Third Edition

By Timothy Ross

Book Overview

The first edition of Fuzzy Logic with Engineering Applications (1995) was the first classroom text for undergraduates in the field. Now updated for the second time, this new edition features the latest advances in the field including material on expansion of the MLFE method using genetic algorithms, cognitive mapping, fuzzy agent-based models and total uncertainty. Redundant or obsolete topics have been removed, resulting in a more concise yet inclusive text that will ensure the book retains its broad appeal at the forefront of the literature. Fuzzy Logic with Engineering Applications, 3rd Edition is oriented mainly towards methods and techniques. Every chapter has been revised, featuring new illustrations and examples throughout. Supporting MATLAB code is downloadable at www.wileyeurope.com/go/fuzzylogic. This will benefit student learning in all basic operations, the generation of membership functions, and the specialized applications in the latter chapters of the book, providing an invaluable tool for students as well as for self-study by practicing engineers.

Excelent for a fisrt course in fuzzy logic and systems

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.

excellent reference book

Very good book for a solid background on Fuzzy Logic. Highly reccomented. Ross is a very involved author and enthousiastic supporter of Fuzzy logic theory use in problem solving. Try to solve some of the problems in the book. They provide much inside on real applications of the fuzzy logic Theory

The least fuzzy book on fuzzy logic

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.

The simplest way of presentation made this book useful.

I enjoyed reading this book especially for its simplicity and wide coverage. I recommended it to many of my students and colleagues, for having a deep understanding of the subject in an informal but systemetic approach.

A basic (but expensive) text for grasping Fuzzy Logic ideas

This book can serve as a starting point for doing fuzzy logic. It lacks the rigorous mathematical development of Klir's texts, and the broader contextual overview (with math) of Kosko's texts but after reading it the student can begin doing some fuzzy logic work. The problem is that it without the more rigorous backgrounds provided by other more advanced works the student can stumble into using fuzzy reasoning incorrectly. I would recommend it to undergraduates, and people who want to use it to clarify stuff from other more theoretical sources, but advise using caution in taking it at face value. I do know that Louisiana Tech uses it as a starting point for some of their undergraduate students
