Abstract

This chapter aims to familiarize the reader with the new field of mathematics known as ‘fractional calculus’, as well as the operators, techniques, and additional mathematical definitions that will be useful in the work that will be covered in subsequent chapters. A significant component of contemporary biological research is its dependence on computers. In order to understand the multilayered complexity of biological systems, mathematical models are essential. The purpose of the dynamic mathematical model is to support biological research. The mechanism of modeling of any biological phenomenon is given in this chapter along with the diagrammatical representation. The methods used for solving the fractional differential equations used in the next chapters are also elaborated here.
