Since higher order derivatives are useful in many places, nth order derivatives are often defined directly. These derivatives are more general than the ordinary derivative and are useful in many purposes. This book discusses higher order derivatives and the relations among them. It covers higher order generalized derivatives, including Peano derivative, d.l.V.P. derivative, symmetric and unsymmetric Riemann derivative, symmetric and unsymmetric Cesàro derivative, symmetric and unsymmetric Borel derivative, symmetric and unsymmetric LP-derivative, symmetric and unsymmetric Laplace derivative, and Abel derivative.

Summary
The concept of higher order derivatives is useful in many branches of mathematics and its applications. As they are useful in many places, nth order derivatives are often defined directly. Higher Order Derivatives discusses these derivatives, their uses, and the relations among them. It covers higher order generalized derivatives, including the Peano, d.l.V.P., and Abel derivatives; along with the symmetric and unsymmetric Riemann, Cesàro, Borel, LP-, and Laplace derivatives.
Although much work has been done on the Peano and de la Vallée Poussin derivatives, there is a large amount of work to be done on the other higher order derivatives as their properties remain often virtually unexplored. This book introduces newcomers interested in the field of higher order derivatives to the present state of knowledge. Basic advanced real analysis is the only required background, and, although the special Denjoy integral has been used, knowledge of the Lebesgue integral should suffice.
