I know many rice cookers use fuzzy logic (or fuzzy math?) So it cooks the rice the right amount of time. How does this work?

Fuzzy logic in mathematics essentially allows for degrees of truth. Instead of binary choices like “is this hot, or is it cold?”, in fuzzy logic something can be sort of or almost hot.

So for advanced, computer-controlled rice cookers, using fuzzy logic allows them to move beyond the binary choice of the basic rice cooker (is it done, yes or no) and make decisions on how to cook the rice based on what’s happening during the cooking process and how it is programmed to respond.
