What is “Fractional Calculus”?• Calculus: integration and differentiation.• “Fractional Calculus”: integration and

differentiation of non-integer orders.– Orders can be real number (and even complex

numbers!)– Orders are not constrained to be “integers” or even

“fractionals”

How this is possible?

Why should I care?

Any (good) consequences (to me)?09/03/2013 ME280 "Fractional Order Mechanics" @ UC Merced

“Fractional Order Thinking” or, “In Between Thinking”

• For example– Between integers there are non-integers;– Between logic 0 and logic 1, there is the fuzzy logic;– Between integer order splines, there are “fractional order

splines”– Between integer high order moments, there are noninteger order

moments (e.g. FLOS)– Between “integer dimensions”, there are fractal dimensions– Fractional Fourier transform (FrFT) – in-between time-n-freq.– Non-Integer order calculus (fractional order calculus – abuse of

terminology.) (FOC – fractional order control, so we use FC, or AFC: Applied Fractional Calculus)

Slide-34/1024

“I have to get you to drop modesty and say to yourself, ``Yes, I would like to do first-class work.'' Our society frowns on people who set out to do really good work. You're not supposed to; luck is supposed to descend on you and you do great things by chance. Well, that's a kind of dumb thing to say. I say, why shouldn't you set out to do something significant. You don't have to tell other people, but shouldn't you say to yourself, ``Yes, I would like to do something significant.”

Richard Hamming. “You and your research”http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a1zDuOPkMSw

Slide-35/1024

AFC @ MESA LAB

“If you do not work on an important problem, it's unlikely you'll do important work. It's perfectly obvious. Great scientists have thought through, in a careful way, a number of important problems in their field, and they keep an eye on wondering how to attack them.” - Richard Hamming. 08/30/2013 Robotics&Ribs@MESALAB@UCMerced Symposium

Slide-36/1024

AFC @ MESA LAB

“One of the characteristics of successful scientists is having courage. Once you get your courage up and believe that you can do important problems, then you can. If you think you can't, almost surely you are not going to. Courage is one of the things that Shannon had supremely.” - Richard Hamming. 08/30/2013 Robotics&Ribs@MESALAB@UCMerced Symposium

Slide-37/1024

AFC @ MESA LAB

“You should do your job in such a fashion that others can build on top of it, so they will indeed say, ``Yes, I've stood on so and so’s shoulders and I saw further.'' The essence of science is cumulative. By changing a problem slightly you can often do great work rather than merely good work. Instead of attacking isolated problems, I made the resolution that I would never again solve an isolated problem except as characteristic of a class.” - Richard Hamming. 08/30/2013 Robotics&Ribs@MESALAB@UCMerced Symposium

Writing – A much needed habit

Reading• If you are reading it, you will not publish

it!• Reading it to beat it.• Reading more and more and then less and

less• Read in brief and read to debrief.

“I” Words

• "informing”• "inspiring”• "impressing”• "intimidating”• "improvising”• "instilling”• “innovative”


Slide-45/1024

AFC @ MESA LAB

“I have now come down to a topic which is very distasteful; it is not sufficient to do a job, you have to sell it. `Selling' to a scientist is an awkward thing to do. It's very ugly; you shouldn't have to do it. The world is supposed to be waiting, and when you do something great, they should rush out and welcome it. But the fact is everyone is busy with their own work. You must present it so well that they will set aside what they are doing, look at what you've done, read it, and come back and say, ``Yes, that was good.”” - Richard Hamming.


Slide-46/1024

AFC @ MESA LAB

Tips: Dr. Kevin L. Moore on writing/talking– http://

www.neng.usu.edu/classes/ece/4840/writingandtalking.pdf


Slide-47/1024

There are three things you have to do in selling. You have to learn to write clearly and well so that people will read it, you must learn to give reasonably formal talks, and you also must learn to give informal talks. - Richard Hamming.

Networking

• A paper is a name card, an ad, a node of network– Send your paper to all cited authors in the paper?

• A paper must give your readers something new and useful (informing and inspiring further work)

ethics

Slide-50/1024



AFC @ MESA LAB“Now self-delusion in humans is very, very common. There are

enumerable ways of you changing a thing and kidding yourself and making it look some other way. When you ask, ``Why didn't you do such and such,'' the person has a thousand alibis. If you look at the history of science, usually these days there are 10 people right there ready, and we pay off for the person who is there first. The other nine fellows say, ``Well, I had the idea but I didn't do it and so on and so on.'' There are so many alibis. Why weren't you first? Why didn't you do it right? Don't try an alibi. Don't try and kid yourself. You can tell other people all the alibis you want. I don't mind. But to yourself try to be honest.” - Richard Hamming.


Slide-51/1024

AFC @ MESA LAB“In summary, I claim that some of the reasons why so

many people who have greatness within their grasp don't succeed are: they don't work on important problems, they don't become emotionally involved, they don't try and change what is difficult to some other situation which is easily done but is still important, and they keep giving themselves alibis why they don't. They keep saying that it is a matter of luck. I've told you how easy it is; furthermore I've told you how to reform. Therefore, go forth and become great scientists!” - Richard Hamming.


Slide-52/1024

AFC @ MESA LAB

Yes, you can excel in research if you want and have the “drive”

• When you forgot everything, what’s left is “higher education” – YangQuan Chen (??)
