Different methods for handling non-integer powers of differentiation operators are presented, along with generalizations of fractional integrals and derivatives. The survey also delves into the diverse applications of fractional calculus in physics, engineering, medicine, and numerical calculations. Essential details of fractional integro-differentiation implemented in Wolfram Mathematica are highlighted. The Hadamard regularization of Riemann-Liouville operator is utilized as the foundation for creating the arbitrary order of integro-differential operator in Mathematica. The survey describes the application of fractional integro-differentiation to Taylor series expansions near zero using Hadamard regularization and the use of the Meijer <i>G</i>-function for evaluating derivatives of complex orders. We conclude with a discussion on applying fractional integro-differentiation to “differential constants” and provide generic formulas for fractional differentiation.
