A world-renowned Azerbaijani scientist, founder of fuzzy logic, professor at the California University Lotfi Zadeh passed away on September 6 at 7:30 am California time aged 96, a close friend of the Zade's, AZERTAC quotes professor of the Azerbaijan Technical University Shahnaz Shahbazova as saying.
The world-renowned scientist Lotfi Zadeh was a professor emeritus of computer science at the University of California, Berkeley, and the director of the Berkeley Initiative in Soft Computing.
He is best known for proposing the fuzzy mathematics in the 1960s.
A letter about the burial of Lutfi Zadeh in Azerbaijan was delivered to the individual responsible - a family friend, professor of the Azerbaijan Technical University Shahnaz Shahbazova, who was near the scientist in recent months. The letter bequeaths to bury the professor in Azerbaijan. The letter was signed by the son of Professor Lutfi Zadeh, Norman Zadeh. The letter also bequeaths to transfer all the awards, orders, medals and books to Professor Shakhbazova.
Recall, some time ago a number of news agencies disseminated information about the death of the world-famous Azerbaijani scientist, which was subsequently not confirmed.
Lutfi Zadeh became world famous scientist after he developed the theory of fuzzy logic 51 years ago, which is considered revolutionary and is widely used all over the world. This theory allowed many large companies to succeed in their technological developments. The scientist is also the author of such studies as "Theory of Impressions", "Fuzzy sets and systems", "Theory of Optimal Filters", which played a significant role in the development of science and its formation on the new foundations.
As Vestnik Kavkaza reported, Lofti Zadeh asked to burry him in Azerbaijan."We are supposed to transport my father to Azerbaijan when that horrible day comes.He specifically asked me to have him buried in Azerbaijan", his son, Norman Zadeh told.
