Page 10 - Mathematical Techniques of Fractional Order Systems

Preface xxiii

AUDIENCE
The book is primarily meant for researchers from academia and industry,
who are working on fractional order systems in the research areas—electrical
engineering, control engineering, mechanical engineering, and computer sci-
ence. The book can also be used at the graduate or advanced undergraduate
level as a text-book or major reference for courses such as power systems,
control systems, electrical devices, scientific modeling, computational sci-
ence, and many others.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
As the editors, we hope that the chapters in this well-structured book will
stimulate further research in mathematical techniques of fractional order sys-
tems, and utilize them in real-world applications.
We hope sincerely that this book, covering so many different topics, will
be very useful for all readers.
We would like to thank all the reviewers for their diligence in reviewing
the chapters.
Special thanks go to Elsevier, especially the book Editorial team.
