Abstract
The first time that I heard about fuzzy sets was my brother, Pedro Gil, who talked about. To get the position of Full Professor at the University of Oviedo he had to pass different habilitation exams, among them one in which he had to prepare presentations on challenging topics. Professor Sixto Ríos, who was my brother’s mentor and the scientific ancestor of a large number of current statisticians/operational researchers in Spain, decided that one of these topics would be Fuzzy Sets (based on Zadeh’s seminal paper [6]).
