Fractional calculus
text:
Fractional calculus, a branch of mathematics dealing with derivatives of non-integer order, emerged nearly simultaneously with traditional calculus. This emergence was partly due to Leibniz's notation for derivatives of integer order: d n d x n. Thanks to this notation, L'Hopital was able to inquire in a letter to Leibniz about the interpretation of taking n = 1 2 in a derivative. At that moment, Leibniz couldn't provide a physical or geometric interpretation for this question, so he simply repl
