Based on extended lecture notes, the book shows how functions such as fractals can serve as useful models for complex phenomena in cases where classic analytic function theory cannot. The authors emphasize the properties of physical phenomena best described using the fractional calculus, such as systems with long-range spatial interactions or long-time memory.
