Abstract In this paper we present some of the main developments in the soft set theory as well as in the theory of algebraic structures and soft topology as a review of literature motivated by Molodsov. Keywords: Soft set, Fuzzy Soft set, Soft operations, Soft algebraic structures and Soft Topological Spaces. 1. INTRODUCTION The problem of uncertainty or vagueness has been tackled for several years by philosophers, logicians, mathematicians and computer scientists. Many practical problems in engineering, economics, social science, environmental science, and medical science etc., cannot be resolved by classical methods due to these methods inherent difficulties such as inadequacy of the theories of parameterization tools. To understand and manipulate imperfect knowledge there are many ways and the most successful approach to tackle this problem is the Fuzzy set theory. In 1965 L. A. Zadeh[102] introduced Fuzzy set theory and he described the control problems of complex systems and dealing with fuzzy system. The idea and the concept of Fuzzy set were introduced by Zadeh and he used the unit interval [0,1] to describe * Corresponding Author
