Introduction to Fuzzy Set Theory, Arithmetic and Logic

By Prof. Niladri Chatterjee | IIT Delhi

Learners enrolled: 1339

The primary purpose of this course is to introduce students to the important areas of fuzzy set theory and fuzzy logic. No previous knowledge is needed regarding fuzzy set theory or fuzzy logic. But familiarity with classical set theory, and two-valued logic will be helpful. In most real-life applications of any decision making one needs to face many types on uncertainty. While as humans we can deal with this uncertainty with our reasoning prowess it is not clear how to deal with this uncertainty in a system. Fuzzy sets and fuzzy logic gives us one way of representing this uncertainty and reasoning with them. This course is aimed at providing a strong background for the subject. This course will be useful as an elective course for senior undergraduates, and master degree students. Weekly assignments will be provided and their solutions will be given in the following week to help students to solve the problems.

CRITERIA TO GET A CERTIFICATE

Average assignment score = 25% of average of best 8 assignments out of the total 12 assignments given in the course.
Exam score = 75% of the proctored certification exam score out of 100

Final score = Average assignment score + Exam score

YOU WILL BE ELIGIBLE FOR A CERTIFICATE ONLY IF AVERAGE ASSIGNMENT SCORE >=10/25 AND EXAM SCORE >= 30/75. If one of the 2 criteria is not met, you will not get the certificate even if the Final score >= 40/100.

Certificate will have your name, photograph and the score in the final exam with the breakup.It will have the logos of NPTEL and IIT Madras .It will be e-verifiable at nptel.ac.in/noc.
