This page documents our AFC (Applied Fractional Calculus) Workshop Series at UC Merced since April 2014. Previously we had over 200 documented talks on various apsects in AFC at Utah State University here.
Please check our AFC homepage for news/activities at http://mechatronics.ucmerced.edu/research/applied-fractional-calculus ( You are welcome to check our old AFC page at Utah State University) [add 169.236.9.29/ infront of mechatronics.ece.usu.edu/foc/ to fix broken links]
Summer 2021 - While getting out of pandemic (last updated: 5/30/2021 Sunday), a newly developed short course of 32 hours: "Applied Fractional Calculus in Big Data and Machine Learning" (大数据和机器学习中的应用分数阶微积分). Course material access (upon request in professional way, i.e., none anonymous from an institutional email address). Youtube channel playlist: (tbd). An overview paper "Why Do Big Data and Machine Learning Entail the Fractional Dynamics?" has the motivations why this course is needed as many do not see the dots actually connected that is AFC+BD+ML has to be recognized and comprehended now.
