A washing machine that gauges each load to determine how much soap to use? An air conditioner that constantly adjusts cooling strength based on room temperature? These "smart" products are possible with the advent of "fuzzy logic, " the principle that's revolutionizing science. Now, its chief proponent presents a brilliant, popular account of the f...more
Fuzzy logic's leading proponent explains how "fuzzy thinking" can lead us out of the system of binary logic--and can challenge the very basis of our culture. 2 cassettes.
An authoritative introduction to "fuzzy logic" brings readers up to speed on the "smart" products and computers that will change all of our lives in the future.
Neural networks and fuzzy systems represent two distinct technologies that deal with uncertainty. This definitive book presents the fundamentals of both technologies, and demonstrates how to combine the unique capabilities of these two technologies for the greatest advantage. Steering clear of unnecessary mathematics, the book highlights a wide ran...more
