"Fuzzy logic is finding increased application in the control of real-world processes and in the work with and the manipulation of inexact knowledge. Two of the major attractions of fuzzy logic are: it permits one to express problems in (familiar) linguistic terms and it can be applied where the numerical mathematical model of a system may be too complex or impossible to build using conventional techniques. This book, written in an easily accessible style, assumes that students have a solid background in embedded systems including basic logic design and C/C programming"--
