Abstract
In this chapter we explore fuzziness as tool to capture uncertainty. Let S be a set and let A and B be subsets of S. We use the notation A ∪ B, A ∩ B to denote the union of A and B and intersection of A and B, respectively. Let B\A denote the relative complement of A in B. The (relative) complement of A in S,S\A, is sometimes denoted by A C when S is understood.
