Book Description

This volume presents recent developments in the fractional calculus of functions of one and several real variables, and shows the relation of this field to a variety of areas in pure and applied mathematics. Beyond some basic properties of fractional integrals in one and many dimensions, it contains a mathematical theory of certain important weakly singular integral equations of the first kind arising in mechanics, diffraction theory and other areas of mathematical physics. The author focuses on explicit inversion formulae that can be obtained by making use of the classical Marchaudís approach and its generalization, leading to wavelet type representations.

Book Description

Recorded history is a finely-woven magic fabric of intricate lies about events predating the sixteenth century. There is not a single piece of evidence that can be reliably and independently traced back earlier than the eleventh century. This book details events that are substantiated by hard facts and logic, and validated by new astronomical research and statistical analysis of ancient sources.

Calculations are only as good as your numbers.......2007-08-03

Yes, we can all agree that mainstream history is nearly 100% BS due to politics, economics, ego, problems with dating techniques, and various conspiracies. Agreed. But, I've been researching the distinct possibility that human history (in terms of civilizations) are much more ancient than we've been told, so coming across this book was very interesting to me. I wondered how Fomenko could be wrong (if at all) because he is very persuasive in his presentations. Then it dawned on me. If at previous times in prehistory, due to the various catastrophies that are well documented (comets, asteroids, planetary disruptions, plasma discharge, pole reversals, etc) the Earth was in a different position in relation to the sun, different tilt on its axis, different orbit, different rotation (in terms of velocity and DIRECTION), and the continents were in different positions, then would this not cause the ancients to see the sky (constellations) differently? In other words, is Fomenko making erronious assumptions about the physics of the Earth in pre-history, which then corrupt his data with regards to dating the relevant astrology? The last event to seriously disrupt our planet occured roughly 3500 years ago, according to other good researchers, so is it possible Fomenko has been confused by this? The vastly different physics of our planet in the not so distant past may explain this confusion, which is not to say the "mainstream" version of history is correct; on the contrary. I am not an expert in these fields, but wanted to see if this idea could spark discussion.

Pants on fire?.......2007-07-19

Will people ever read before spamming? Yes, Jesuits could not rewrite world history alone, they had help. Anyway, Dr Prof Acad A.Fomenko does not point to jesuits as the driving force of world wide history manipulation in published volumes 1,2,3;, actually he barely mentions the poor devils. Check it with 'Search inside' feature, please. China is rarely mentioned either, in fact, Dr Fomenko is completely eurocentric. Right, his theory contradicts all mainstream schools of history, because in their actual state they are all built on blatantly erroneus chronology. You don't need a mysterious cabal (conspiracy) to falsify history, the falsification is its modus operandi. It is inherent to history(ians) to falsify (distort) events, as it is inherent to humans to boast as it is inherent to power (authority) to legimize itself by referrring to glorious past made to its own order. Dr Prof Fomenko and team have identified scores of instances of such manipulation in Russian, European, etc.. history, and delivered valid statistical proof thereof. His own 'reconstruction' is completely another story. Forget c14 as a valid method of dating. W.Libby has initially discovered a brilliant method of INDEPENDENT dating. Too bad, c14 method has become a joke after a forced marrige with dendrochronology with consensual chronological scale inbuilt. Radiocarbon method can't stand blind tests, but is so very productive as a rubberstamp.

Accepted History & Chronology Must Be Changed. .......2007-04-09

There is no doubt that history as most know it is a sham, & institution's version of History both University & Church is fradulent & inaccurate. Everything was established with an agenda, The real "Dark Ages" are now when we have access to incredible amounts of information past authorities & more important 'common folk' didn't have but our institutions & educators are slow to evolve because of what has ignorantly & arrogantly been taught for too long. This is on many subjects not just Chronology.

For anyone to question "Why would a Mathematician have anything credible to say of History?" The answer is from Dr. Fomenko's preface in the book: "It would be worthwhile to remind the reader that in the XVI-XVII century Chronology was considered to be a subdivision of Mathematics." These volumes could possibly be some of the most important works to date & should be read by everyone with an interest in History, especially professors & educators who have a duty to the public. I have read both books & must say that 'Chronology 1' has some very eye opening & revolutionary information. Even if these volumes are part true the implications are profound & opens the doors to further investigations & questions which must be done. I speak several different lanquages & must say the logic Dr. Fomenko uses with "inflection" of words & words being read from left to right in one region & right to left in another then written backwards, the removal of vowels & get down to basics of words, or different cities & locations having the same name etc. is correct. Vowel usage has always been optional & varied, actually complicating linquistics & study. The first thing one has to understand is that words never had a fixed spelling in history like we do now, the spelling of words was mutable & regional, as well as names & titles of people were vast, varied & changed, NOTHING WAS FIXED or understood linear. Matters of Life & Death as well as financial profiteering yesterday & today were & are made with ignorant, illogical & conspiratorial views of history & reality, it's time people get closer to the Truth & society collectively grow up.

Very Interesting.......2007-03-07

It is a good proposal and I believe it will mature into something even better in the future. I think it deserves to be read.

History as Science Fiction.......2007-01-10

Anatoly Fomenko has written a very intriguing book, full of pictures, charts, and computer 'proof' of his thesis: backwards of AD900 we don't really know what happened or when. Between AD900 and AD1600 there is more certainty, but there is still a lot of fuzzy ground, and things don't get reliable until we get past the 1600's where the printing press made it very difficult for the perpetrators of this timeline manipulation to change anything that had been committed to print. The Dark Ages did not happen. Books were burned for a reason. One organization has doubled the actual length of its existence by expanding the real chronology. Read why.

I had always wondered why Christ died about AD33 and yet men waited until the 11th century to form the Knights Templar, the Cathars, etc and go after the Holy Land by force. Why the 1000 year gap? Turns out there wasn't more than a 10-12 year gap and he proves it using astronomy. This also implies that the planet is not as old as we have been told, and current Christian and other creationist scientists are already championing that idea without being aware of Fomenko's book. The two groups, creationist scientists and the Russian mathematical analysts corroborate each other. Fascinating.

Of course, all this flies in the face of what we have been told traditionally is the 'proper' chronology of western civilization, and most readers will experience 'cognitive dissonance' in reading this book. It means that our history going backwards from AD1600 becomes progressively more incorrect and unreliable until it cannot be trusted at all... in the space of 700-800 years.

Naturally, the curious, open-minded reader will want to know WHO did this, WHY, and did any of the events we think of as really ancient ever happen?
Dr. Fomenko is a respected scientist/mathematician at Moscow State University who has already answered these questions to the satisfaction of his initially skeptical colleagues. Most of them are now believers, a few still refuse to believe (the usual diehards), and of course the western press has ignored Fomenko's work -- for obvious reasons when you read the book. The ones who perpetrated this chronology ruse have a lot to answer for. They are still with us. That's why this book is a well-kept secret.

I gave the book a 4-star rating because I was unable to check out some of his claims; those I checked were as he said. But if even 1/3 of his claims are true, this punches a big hole in what we think is our history, the meaning of western civilization, our educational process (for repeating the ruse as gospel), and the trustworthiness of the organization that perpetrated this ruse, well-intentioned or not.

This book relates to current research into a Young Earth paradigm, to John Keel's discoveries about our planet, and Fr Malachi Martin's insights (in his now out-of-print books). We are indeed sheep who are manipulated and kept ignorant -- for a reason. While knowing what these men have to say may be the "booby prize" (as in: 'what can you do with this knowledge?'), it will provide interesting reading. Didn't someone say: "...and the Truth will set you free."?? For you to judge if this book contains the truth.

Alexander's Journey Through the Cosmos.......2007-08-31

This is a visionary reimagining of the conquests of Alexander the Great as a cosmological journey to the boundaries of the known world of the second century a.d. when the text was composed. As such, it has nothing to do with, nor is it in any way affiliated to, such attempts at historical accuracy as Arrian's Campaigns. This is the story of Alexander caught in the process of transformation into the stuff of myth and legend. Indeed, the lineaments of the narrative have all the elements of the life of a World Savior, like the Gospels or the Pali canon texts of the Buddha's life: he is born, for instance, as part of a modified Virgin Birth, in which the last Egyptian pharaoh, Nectanebo, contrives to sleep with Alexander's mother while Philip is away on campaign. Nectanebo convinces Olympias that he is a god, and one, moreover, capable of transforming into a serpent, so that the traditional imagery of the classic Virgin Birth by the descent of a bird from above--i.e. Leda and the Swan; Mary and the angel Gabriel--is reversed to an insemination by a serpentine divinity from below. By the time the narrative closes, moreover, we are told that Alexander was born in the month of January and died in April, the same two points of the year which are of significance for the Christ myth. Here, Alexander, like Christ before him, is being deified.

Alexander's journeys in this narrative have a cosmological significance that puts the story squarely in the tradition of other such cosmological narratives as the Irish Voyage of Brendan, or the Estonian Kalevipoeg, or indeed, even the Gilgamesh Epic. We witness Alexander pushing into strange lands populated by monsters and demons, men with the heads of dogs and women vampires. We see him descend in a prototypal submarine to the depths of the sea, and ascend on the wings of eagles into the heavens, where he is approached by an angelic being who tells him to turn back. We journey with him to India, where he discourses with Hindu sages, and follow him on to the Nubian kingdom of Meroe, where he encounters Queen Candace and nearly succumbs to her manipulations. There is even a scene involving Amazons who volunteer to become part of his army.

It is all very exhilaratingly told, and best of all, it is short. The comparison with the Gilgamesh Epic, it is worth noting, seems appropriate in certain respects, although the two stories are exactly opposed in both sense and significance, for whereas the whole point of the Alexander Romance is to show him constructing a gigantic world megalopolis--founding one Alexandria after the next as he goes along--the point of the Gilgamesh Epic had concerned its hero's disillusionment with life under urban conditions followed by a desire, then, to leave the city behind in quest of a cosmic religious experience.

For myth scholars, the Alexander Romance is essential. For Alexander scholars, it serves as yet another text with a different point of view on their hero. For everyone else, it is just a good, entertaining romp through the universe before it was redecorated by Copernicus and Galileo.

Greek Alexander.......2006-08-22

A very nice and easy book to read.The Alexander Romance is based on myth,legends and part of history.It is really up to the reader, who knows a lot of Alexander's history to decipher which is truth and which is myth.
Otherwise read it with a grain of salt.

The Forgotten Classic.......2005-10-21

This is a beautiful translation of a great classic. Read it read it read it.

nice book.......2000-04-17

This is a very interesting Greek romance, very famous and popular. I recommend the book. But I want that the translator mentioned on Arabic-Persian version of Iskandar legends also comperably, since PSEUDO-CALLISTHENES's story is too much famous for us Japanese.
