Fuzzy logic provides a unique method of approximate reasoning in an imperfectworld. This text is a bridge to the principles of fuzzy logic through anapplicationfocused approach to selected topics in Engineering and Management.The many examples point to the richer solutions obtained through fuzzy logicand to the possibilities of much wider applications. There are relatively fewtexts available at present in fuzzy logic applications. The style and contentof this text is complementary to those already available. New areas ofapplication are presented in a graded approach in which the underlying conceptsare first described. The text is broadly divided into two parts which treatProcesses and Materials and also System Applications. The level enables aselection of the text to be made for the substance of a senior undergraduatelevel course. There is also sufficient volume and quality for the basis of apostgraduate course. A more restricted and judicious selection can provide thematerial for a professional short course. «
