This second volume of the multi-volume Fractional Calculus for Skeptics explores the concept of âroughnessâ and its applications in complex systems. It demonstrates how fractional calculus offers valuable insights into modeling real-world phenomena that traditional calculus struggles to address.

Building on the first volume's foundational work advocating a fractal/fractional calculus paradigm shift, this volume offers an in-depth exploration of the concept of âroughness,â drawing parallels to what Beno®t B. Mandelbrot originally intended to call the âScience of Roughness.â The book introduces the novel concept of âbody roughnessâ and demonstrates its practical applications through two case studies of âroughness-informed rehabilitation therapyâ with closed-loop control systems. One study involves non-invasive, 40-Hz gamma-frequency sensory stimulation for Alzheimer's disease, and the other involves biologically variable ventilation using roughness-informed, closed-loop control. The four chapters are complemented by valuable appendices and essential chapter-end references, as well as insightful âtake-home messages.â

This book will appeal to students, researchers, and professionals in STEM fields, including engineering, physics, biology, biomedicine, control engineering, rehabilitation, big data, and machine learning.
