Lotfi Aliasker Zadeh[5] (/ˈzɑːdeɪ/; Azerbaijani: Lütfi Rəhim oğlu Ələsgərzadə;[6] Persian: لطفی علیعسکرزاده;[2] 4 February 1921 – 6 September 2017)[1][3] was a mathematician, computer scientist, electrical engineer, artificial intelligence researcher, and professor[7] of computer science at the University of California, Berkeley. Zadeh is best known for proposing fuzzy mathematics, consisting of several fuzzy-related concepts: fuzzy sets,[8] fuzzy logic,[9] fuzzy algorithms,[10] fuzzy semantics,[11] fuzzy languages,[12] fuzzy control,[13] fuzzy systems,[14] fuzzy probabilities,[15] fuzzy events,[15] and fuzzy information.[16] Zadeh was a founding member of the Eurasian Academy.[1][17]
