Book Synopsis Applications Of Fractional Calculus In Physics by : Rudolf Hilfer
Download or read book Applications Of Fractional Calculus In Physics written by Rudolf Hilfer. This book was released on 2000-03-02. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fractional calculus is a collection of relatively little-known mathematical results concerning generalizations of differentiation and integration to noninteger orders. While these results have been accumulated over centuries in various branches of mathematics, they have until recently found little appreciation or application in physics and other mathematically oriented sciences. This situation is beginning to change, and there are now a growing number of research areas in physics which employ fractional calculus.This volume provides an introduction to fractional calculus for physicists, and collects easily accessible review articles surveying those areas of physics in which applications of fractional calculus have recently become prominent.
