Abstract

In this chapter, a brief introduction to the theory of fractional calculus is presented. We start with a historical perspective of the theory, with a strong connection with the development of classical calculus (Sect. 1.1). Then, in Sect. 1.2, we review some definitions and properties about a few special functions that will be needed. We end with a review on fractional integrals and fractional derivatives of noninteger order and with some formulas of integration by parts, involving fractional operators (Sect. 1.3).
