Review

From the reviews: "This book constitutes a comprehensive and didactically appealing introduction to the essentials of fuzzy sets, fuzzy logic and their applications. The exposition of the material is presented in the commonly encountered computational framework of MATLAB. … The didactic value of the book is very good. … Examples and exercises are definitely a strong feature of the book … . Overall, the book can be regarded as an excellent introductory text to all newcomers to fuzzy sets interested in their fundamentals and applications." (Witold Pedrycz, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1109 (11), 2007)

1.0 out of 5 stars A waste of money, August 19, 2007

This review is from: Introduction to Fuzzy Logic using MATLAB (Hardcover)

I use Matlab's fuzzy logic toolbox for my classes, and from the title guessed that this book might serve as a handy tutorial and reference guide for my students. Instead I found the book poorly organised and typeset, hardly illuminating and full of language errors. No way I could use this book in class. Much more insight into the subject matter is to be gained, and a lot of money to be saved, by reading Matlab's own help files.
