Abstract
Currently fuzzy set theory has a wide range to model real life problems with incomplete or vague information which perfectly suits the reality and its application is theatrically increasing. This work explored the basic fuzzy operations with the Gaussian Membership using the α-cut method. As it is known that, the Gaussian membership function has a great role in modelling the fuzzy problems this is what impelled to explore its operation which can further be used in analysis of fuzzy problems. Primarily the basic operations which has been discussed here are addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, reciprocal, exponential, logarithmic and nth power.
