About the Authors

This volume is an accessible introduction to the subject of many-valued and fuzzy logic suitable for use in relevant advanced undergraduate and graduate courses. The text opens with a discussion of the philosophical issues that give rise to fuzzy logic – problems arising from vague language – and returns to those issues as logical systems are presented. For historical and pedagogical reasons, three-valued logical systems are presented as useful intermediate systems for studying the principles and theory behind fuzzy logic.
- Accessible introduction explains the basic theories to the reader
- Clear presentation allows the reader to get to grips with technical concepts
- Includes algebras and axiomatics along with semantics and philosophical issues
