A soft sets review

In this review we consider the so-called soft sets. In fact, it is a generalization of L. Zadeh’s fuzzy sets, which form the mathematical apparatus of artificial intelligence. On the other hand, the rejection of the notion of infinitesimality originates the foundations of a new mathematical analysis. Subsequently, many papers on soft sets have appeared, conferences have been organized, and there are publications on applications in various fields. The paper gives the basic definitions and terms of soft sets theory, and references to its practical applications.
