This book deepens concepts about fuzzy theory and fuzzy control. It is a useful tool to develop applications in fuzzy control. Otherwise this one presents a basic introduction to neural network, furthermore the theory about neural-fuzzy and fuzzy-neural is presented in basic form. The book contains a large number of examples about all items and Matlab software is used in many of they. I would catalog this book in medium level of deepening. Topics about fuzzy control are tried deeper than neuro-fuzzy, fuzzy-neural topics.

Fascinating reading. I had trouble putting it down at times, which is a lot to be said for a text book! Although I had lots of experience with classical control methods I hadn't studied neural or fuzzy systems before. I found the book gave me an excellent introduction to the topics in a highly readable format and yet also gave me the details mathematics required to be able to be able to program fuzzy and neural systems myself. It also had examples using the Matlab toolboxes which was useful.

A First Course in Fuzzy and Neural Control provide a great introduction to fuzzy and neural systems, giving enough level of detail when needed and without missing the point that it is intended for an introductory course. The book provides a well-balanced lecture going from key concepts of classical control theory to soft-computing control techniques. This is definitely a "must have" book in any personal library of anyone interested in the study and development of bio-inspired technologies. From academic point of view, A First Course in Fuzzy and Neural Control is the ideal text book for introductory courses on the subject that will be the source of inspiration for the students to get motivated to explore the fascinating world of soft-computing and bio-inspired technologies.
