Readers may question why non-Newtonian calculus should be used when Newtonian calculus is already available and many scientists are familiar with it. Alpha Calculus attempts to answer this question. Many other mathematical examples can also be given to demonstrate the advantages of using non-Newtonian calculus, for instance, in interpreting differential equations, proving certain mathematical...
