Zadeh, Lotfi

Lotfi Zadeh was a pioneering computer scientist and mathematician known for developing fuzzy logic in the 1960s. Unlike traditional logic that views things as true or false, fuzzy logic allows for degrees of truth, enabling computers to handle uncertainty and approximate reasoning more like humans do. This approach has vastly improved systems in areas like control systems, artificial intelligence, and decision-making processes. Zadeh’s work has helped bridge the gap between human reasoning and machine computation, making technology more adaptable and intuitive in complex, real-world situations.
