Recent Advances in Fractional Calculus (Global Research Notes in Mathematics Ser.)

The subject matter of the above text goes back to the times of Leibniz & l'Hospital, who wondered at the possibility of changing the positive integer N in the nth derivative of as many times differentiable function to a fraction, say 1/2. A new mathematics developed which is not known to a wide class of mathematicians. Many a theorem of applied mathematics & physics can be converted to the ones involving fractional calculus operators. The book contains recent researches in fractional calculus & its applications to Science & Math, besides history of Fractional Calculus. Mathematicians & Scientists can find tools or references to a vast emerging literature in fractional calculus & its applications not hitherto explored to its potential. Please see review in MATHEMATICAL REVIEWS 94f:26006 26A33 26-06. Hard cover ISBN 0- 9638155-1-2 ($65). A text: "CALCULUS WITH ANALYTIC GEOMETRY: A PROBLEM SOLVING & GRAPHICAL APPROACH; QUICK REVIEW FOR EXAMS SERIES NO. 1," ISBN 0-9638155-2-0 will be available September 1995. The Calculus book will be useful as a help book to increase student performance in university & entrance exams & can replace bulky texts (both traditional & reform) recommended by instructors.
