The class of tall men , or the class of beautiful women, do not constitute classes or sets in the usual mathematical sense of these terms. Yet, the fact remains that such imprecisely defined classes classes play an important role in human thinking, particularly in the domains of pattern recognition, communication of information, and abstraction. Lotfi A. Zadeh, 1965

Fuzzy ? Oxford Dictionary: blurred, indistinct, confused, imprecisely defined Fuzzy Systems ? Knowledge-based or rule-based systems: If-Then rules

As complexity rises, precise statements lose meaning and meaningful statements lose precision.
Lotfi A. Zadeh, 1965

The theory of fuzzy sets is a theory of graded concepts, a theory in which everything is a matter of degree. Lotfi Zadeh, 1973
Unlike two two-valued valued Boolean logic logic, fuzzy logic is based on degrees of membership. It deals with degrees of truth.

"The question really isn't whether I'm American, Russian, Iranian, Azerbaijani, or anything else, I've been shaped by all these people and cultures and I feel quite comfortable among all of them."

Example 1: Fuzzy-based Automatic Car Speed Control

Example 2: Digital Image Stabilizer

If all the points in the picture are moving in the Same direction, Then the hand is shaking and
compensate it.

If only some points in the picture are moving, Then the hand is not shaking and leaves it
alone.

Pure Takagi-Sugeno-Kang (TSK) With Fuzzifier and Defuzzifier U and V are fuzzy sets. In Eng. Systems, inputs/outputs are real values .

Example: Fuzzy-based Automatic Car Speed Control

U and V are real-valued variables.

Problem: Using mathematical formula against using the human knowledge

x and y are real-valued variables.
