About this book :-
"The Fractional Calculus: Theory and Applications of Differentiation and Integration to Arbitrary Order" by Keith B. Oldham and Jerome Spanier is a comprehensive introduction to the field of "fractional calculus", which extends differentiation and integration to arbitrary, non-integer orders. This book is ideal for advanced students and researchers seeking a deeper understanding of this mathematical area and its broad range of applications.
The authors carefully explain the theory behind "differintegral operators", providing detailed discussions on semiderivatives, semiintegrals, and transcendental functions. The book balances rigorous mathematics with practical examples, showing how fractional calculus can model complex phenomena in physics, engineering, and other sciences.
Divided into two parts, the text first covers foundational concepts and then explores real-world applications, such as diffusion problems and classical calculus extensions. Oldham and Spanier’s clear writing style and structured approach make difficult concepts accessible, making this book a valuable resource for mathematicians, engineers, and scientists interested in the innovative uses of fractional calculus.
