Fuzzy mathematics is the branch of mathematics including fuzzy set theory and fuzzy logic that deals with partial inclusion of elements in a set on a spectrum, as opposed to simple binary "yes" or "no" (0 or 1) inclusion. It started in 1965 after the publication of Lotfi Asker Zadeh's seminal work Fuzzy sets.[1] Linguistics is an example of a field that utilizes fuzzy set theory.
