Niels Henrik Abel and the birth of fractional calculus

Abstract

This is the paper "Niels Henrik Abel and the birth of fractional calculus", Podlubny, I., Magin, R. L., Trymorush I., Fractional Calculus and Applied Analysis, vol.20, no.5, pp.1068-1075, 2017 (https://doi.org/10.1515/fca-2017-0057) with the supplements to it. Hereby translation to English of the first part of the important Abel's paper (Abel, N. H., Oplosning af et par opgaver ved hjelp af bestemte integraler, Magazin for Naturvidenskaberne, Aargang I, Bind 2, Christiania, 1823) and another important Abel's paper (Abel, N. H., Auflosung einer mechanischen ausgabe. Journal fur die Reine und Angewandte Mathematik, Bind I, 153-157, Berlin, 1826) are provided. To preserve the original flavor and the historical development of mathematical notation, the formulas are typeset in the original manner.
