GUIA-CALDERON, M. et al. The differential and integral fractional calculus and its applications. Acta univ [online]. 2015, vol.25, n.2, pp.20-27. ISSN 2007-9621.  https://doi.org/10.15174/au.2015.688.

Over the last 20 years arbitrary order calculus (better known in the literature as fractional calculus) has been developed impressively. However, in Mexico there are no solid groups devoted to its study and applications. The objetive of this work is to present the origins and development of fractional calculus, in order to encourage future researchers to venture into this very interesting area of unconventional mathematical analysis. Finally, as an example, vertical motion of a particle within a medium where resistance is proportional to speed is analized.

Palavras-chave : Fractional differentias and integrals; fractional differential equations.
