Reviews

I know quite a few books on the fuzzy set theory and neuro-fuzzy systems, but this work is unique. No other book have I found so pleasant to read and, at the same time, no other book seems so informative for the fuzzy or soft computing newcomer... [T]he book presents an excellent, clear written, and easy-to-understand advertisement for fuzzy computing... -- H. Toth Computing Reviews [Sangalli's] goal is to describe this recent work to a broad audience; he succeeds quite admirably. The Importance of Being Fuzzy is clear and easy to read, and yet it provides enough mathematical detail to give some appreciation for the meaning behind the metaphors. -- Mark Johnson The Mathematical Association of America Online Book Review
