ABSTRACT: Fuzzy set theory, an extension of classical set theory, provides a mathematical framework for handling uncertainty and imprecision. This paper provides some key properties of fuzzy sets, emphasizing their graphical representations and practical applications to enhance visualization and understanding. Fundamental concepts such as membership functions, core, support, and α-cuts are analyzed alongside essential operations, including complement, intersection, and union. Additionally, the study explores triangular and trapezoidal fuzzy numbers, as well as triangular norms (t-norms) and conorms (t-conorms) that facilitate fuzzy set operations. Beyond theoretical insights, this study highlights the practical applications of fuzzy set theory in real-world scenarios. We demonstrate how fuzzy logic is applied in finance (profit optimization), meteorology (rainfall prediction), and medical science (diabetes classification). Through these applications, the paper underscores the effectiveness of fuzzy sets in modeling uncertainty and improving decision-making processes.
