Intelligent Counting Under Information Imprecision Applications to Intelligent Systems and Decision Support


Free Download Intelligent Counting Under Information Imprecision: Applications to Intelligent Systems and Decision Support By Maciej Wygralak (auth.)
2013 | 292 Pages | ISBN: 3642346847 | PDF | 5 MB
Counting belongs to the most elementary and frequent mental activities of human beings. Its results are a basis for coming to a decision in a lot of situations and dimensions of our life. This book presents a novel approach to the advanced and sophisticated case, called intelligent counting, in which the objects of counting are imprecisely, fuzzily specified. Formally, this collapses to counting in fuzzy sets, interval-valued fuzzy sets or I-fuzzy sets (Atanassov’s intuitionistic fuzzy sets).The monograph is the first one showing and emphasizing that the presented methods of intelligent counting are human-consistent: are reflections and formalizations of real, human counting procedures performed under imprecision and, possibly, incompleteness of information. Other applications of intelligent counting in various areas of intelligent systems and decision support will be discussed, too.The whole presentation is self-contained, systematic, and equipped with many examples, figures and tables. Computer and information scientists, researchers, engineers and practitioners, applied mathematicians, and postgraduate students interested in information imprecision are the target readers.

Author: Benjamin Wardhaugh
Narrator: David Thorpe

Counting is an innovative, erudite, world-wrapping journey through humanity’s marvellous ability to impose numbers on things. Acclaimed historian and mathematician Benjamin Wardhaugh draws on stories from the Stone Age to cyberspace in pursuit of the elusive, fascinating, endlessly diverse history of human counting. Starting with the roots of counting in human brains, bodies and environments, Wardhaugh tours us around the world and through time while exploring the different flavours of counting that have developed over millennia. We meet the makers of bead necklaces in ancient South Africa, the inventors of writing in the world ‘ s first metropolis, and the ‘counter culture’ of classical Athens. We see counting used – and changed – by Indian scholars, Chinese peasants and Papuan shopkeepers; we meet the distinctive numerate agendas of Mayan kings, US governments and Korean vloggers. Weaving these stories together, Wardhaugh shows how cultures have shaped counting, and how counting has shaped culture, in a rich tapestry spanning thousands of years. This is the vast story of human attempts to find some order in an unruly world; or, perhaps, to impose on a reluctant world the order that humans find within themselves. It is a history as wide, deep and tangled as that of humanity itself.

In mid-1994, a p air of veteran DC-3s made a pilgrimage back to the skies of Normandy to commemorate the D-Day landings of 1944…and the story of that historic sojourn is included here in both words and pictures. A color photo section containing views of many preserved D C-3s from around the world is featured, along with intriguing looks at a number of derelict and forgotten airframes. Also featured: where can you fly a DC-3 today, or where can you just catch a ride on one. Detailed appendices with serial number lists, ai rcraft histories, etc. A fresh look at the venerable Douglas DC-3.
