Korn's book requires that you be thoroughly familiar with differential and
linear equations in order to get anything out of it.  While he gives an
excellent set of resources for the advanced student of neural nets and fuzzy
logic, the book is unsuitable for the beginner, whatever the title may imply.
 
Which is a great pity.  One of the failings of introductory books on the topics
is the lack of provision for "hands-on" experimentation.  Most books require
that you know C or have access to a Smalltalk system.  Ironically, Korn's book
includes a simulation program which will run on 286 and higher CPUs (with math
co-processors).
