دانلود کتاب منطق فازی معاصر

Writing a book is like a journey through past experiences that one may want to share with potential readers. The Italian writer Italo Calvino in “Six Memos for the Next Millennium”, a book of undelivered lectures scheduled at Harvard University, pinpoints the essential features of a book: lightness, quickness, exactitude, visibility, multiplicity, and consistency. Even though these features were meant for novels, we believe that most of them also apply to a scientific textbook. Armedwith such a vision, we wish to offer to the readers a synthesis of our research and experience through the courses we have delivered to upper-level undergraduate students and to graduate students majoring in computer science, mathematics, physics, and engineering. More than half a century has passed since fuzzy logic appeared, but the research in this area is still very active, with many applications in different fields of our modern society. The COVID-19 pandemic, which has upset everyone’s life, has also brought changes in our work habits. More than ever, especially for students, the availability of free and open-source software has been important. In this book, the reader is introduced to basic concepts that span the classical notions of fuzzy logic to more advanced notions from the current state-of-the-art research. Each of the major topics is accompanied with examples and Scilab codes. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first book presenting topics in fuzzy logic with the support of free open-source software, such as Scilab. Even though this book may be used as a textbook for some courses, there are sufficient ideas for starting research projects in fuzzy logic. We wish to thank our students, whose questions inspiredmany of this book’s examples and problems. Stefania Tomasiello acknowledges funding from the European Social Fund via the IT Academy programme.
