What Lies Between a Function and Its Derivative? | Fractional Calculus
Can you take a derivative only partway? Is there any meaning to a “half-derivative“? Does such a concept even make sense? And if so, what do these fractional derivatives look like?

===============================
Minor correction: The footnote at 7:34 should say the trig substitution produces another *whole* factor of pi (not a root pi) in the numerator which then cancels the *two* root(pi)’s that appear in the denominator from applying the half integral formula twice.
