The concept of fuzzy sets is one of the most fundamental and influential tools in computational intelligence. Fuzzy sets can provide solutions to a broad range of problems of control, pattern classification, reasoning, planning, and computer vision. This book bridges the gap that has developed between theory and practice. The authors explain...

More than 50 years ago when I was studying to become an electrical engineer, I came across complex numbers, which were used to represent out-of-phase voltages and currents using the j operator. I believe that the letter j was used, rather than i, because the latter stood for electrical current. So from the very start of my studies I...

This book began when I was assigned to help salvage an undergraduate computer organization course. The course had suffered years of neglect: it had been taught by a series of professors, mostly visitors, who had little or no interest or background in digital hardware, and the curriculum had deteriorated to a potpourri of topics that...

This book is an introduction to C++ and computer programming that focuses on the essentials—and on effective learning. The book is designed to serve a wide range of student interests and abilities and is suitable for a first course in programming for computer scientists, engineers, and students in other disciplines.

After studying this text, you should be able to apply switching theory to the solution of logic design problems.This means that you will learn both the basic theory of switching circuits and how to apply it. After a brief introduction, you will study Boolean algebra, which is the basic mathematical tool needed to analyze and synthesize...

C# Programming: From Problem Analysis to Program Design requires no previous introduction to programming and only a mathematical background of high school algebra. The book uses C# as the programming language for software development; however, the basic programming concepts presented can be applied to a number of other languages....
