In 300 B.C. Aristotle formulated the law of the excluded middle, which is now the principle foundation of mathematics.
X must be in a set of A or in a set of not A.
What is fuzzy logic?
Fuzzy logic is a superset of conventional (Boolean) logic that has been extended to handle the concept of partial truth -- truth values between "completely true" and "completely false".
What is fuzzy logic?
A type of logic that recognizes more than simple true and false values. With fuzzy logic, propositions can be represented with degrees of truthfulness and falsehood. For example, the statement, today is sunny, might be 100% true if there are no clouds, 80% true if there are a few clouds, 50% true if it's hazy and 0% true if it rains all day.
Fuzzy logic has proved to be particularly useful in expert system and other artificial intelligence applications. It is also used in some spell checkers to suggest a list of probable words to replace a misspelled one.
Fuzzy Logic
“ A form of knowledge representation suitable for notions that cannot be defined precisely, but which depend upon their context. It enables computerized devices to reason more like humans”
Classical Set (Crisp)
Contain objects that satisfy precise properties of membership.
Example: Set of heights from 5 to 7 feet
Fuzzy Set
Contain objects that satisfy imprecise properties of membership
Example : The set of heights in the region around 6 feet
Fuzzy Logic: Motivations
Alleviate difficulties in developing and analyzing complex systems encountered by conventional mathematical tools.
Observing that human reasoning can utilize concepts and knowledge that do not have well-defined, sharp boundaries.

Fuzzy logic & probability theory
Suppose you are seated at a table on which rest two glasses of liquid.
First glass is described : “having a 95% chance Of being healthful and good”
Second glass is described : “having a .95 membership in the class of healthful and good”
Which glass would you select, keeping in mind that the first glass has a 5 % chance of being filled with nonhealthful liquids, including poisons [Bezdek 1993]?
