ECTS: 5 T+P+L: 3+0+0 Departmental Elective
Coordinator: Dr. Öğr. Üyesi Yakup CEZAYİRLİ
Instructors: Dr. Öğr. Üyesi Yakup CEZAYİRLİ

Course Objective

The course is designed to give a solid grounding of fundamental concepts of fuzzy logic and its applications. The course level is chosen so that all students aspiring to be a part of computational intelligence should learn these concepts shortly.

Course Content

This course presents an introductory coverage of fuzzy logic, including basic principles from an interdisciplinary perspective. It includes the concept of evolving a fuzzy set and fuzzy set operations, fuzzification rule base design and defuzzification, and simple guidelines for fuzzy sets design and selected applications.
