A Geometry of Approximation: Rough Set Theory: Logic, Algebra and Topology of Conceptual Patterns
About this ebook
Such an approach endows the present treatise with a unique character. Due to this uniqueness in the treatment of the subject, the book will be useful to researchers, graduate and pre-graduate students from various disciplines, such as computer science, mathematics and philosophy. It features an impressive number of examples supported by about 40 tables and 230 figures. The comprehensive index of concepts turns the book into a sort of encyclopaedia for researchers from a number of fields.
'A Geometry of Approximation' links many areas of academic pursuit without losing track of its focal point, Rough Sets.
