DESCRIPTION:
Professor Lofti Zadeh masterminded "fuzzy logic"--a way of programming computers to "make decisions" bases on imprecise data and complex situations. In "Fuzzy Logic," Daniel McNeill and Paul Freiberger relate the compelling tale of this remarkable new technology, the genius who brought it to life, and how it will soon affect the lives of every one of us.. Imagine a technology so revolutionary that it gives computers the ability to make decisions more like human beings
3.5 stars-Overall,an above average history of fuzzy logic with some rough spots This book is an above average history of the conceptualization ,development,and application of fuzzy logic.Fuzzy logic essentially replaces the point estimates of the mathematical laws of probability(addition and multiplication rules for disjunction and conjunction,respectively)with interval estimates using linear programming techniques.The two main protaganists are L. Zadeh and B. Kosko.They certainly should be recognized for independently developing their own particular versions and approaches to interva. History and Philosophy of Fuzzy Logic 'Fuzzy Logic: A Revolutionary Computer Technology that is changing our world', a book by Daniel McNeill and Paul Freiberger, is all about the history and philosophy of fuzzy logic. This book was written nearly a decade from now and the main body consists of 275 pages of text (pp. 9 to 283). It took me 2 weeks to finish reading this book since I underlined important terms, concepts, and names of the people who contributed to the development of fuzzy logic. Without underlining, I think anyone can read this b. David De Sousa said A must read - The History of a revolutionary technology. "Imagine a technology so revolutionary that it gives computers the ability to make decisions more like human beings"This is a book about the history of this technology, but be aware this is not an academic, scientific or engineering book.An excellent reading if you like to know a little bit about the behind the scenes, the lives, and stories that surround the development of this fascinating technology. Fuzzy logic is a technology so great, that in my opinion, it single handed advanced the science of artifi
