Fractional Order Calculus Day
at
(FOC Day @ USU,
Organized by
Center for Self-Organizing and Intelligent
Systems
(CSOIS),
Department of Electrical and Computer
Engineering
§
What is FOC: Fractional order calculus (FOC) is about the
differentiation and integration of non-integer orders. For example, 
is the so-called
“semi-differentiation.” For more information, check http://mechatronics.ece.usu.edu/foc/
and http://www.tuke.sk/podlubny/fc.html
§
What in the day: Experts from both academia and industry will
share
their views (achievements vs. current research issues) on FOC.
Professors and
graduates from within the USU campus to share their problems at hand
with
possible link to FOC. Round table discussions.
§
Where: EL206 (CSOIS White Room)
§
When:
9:00AM-1:00PM (introductory talks);
§
Who should attend: All are
welcome.
