Abstract
We introduce a new fractional derivative which obeys classical properties including: linearity, product rule, quotient rule, power rule, chain rule, vanishing derivatives for constant functions, the Rolle's Theorem and the Mean Value Theorem. The definition, is the most natural generalization that uses the limit approach. For , it generalizes the classical calculus properties of polynomials. Furthermore, if , the definition is equivalent to the classical definition of the first order derivative of the function . Furthermore, it is noted that there are differentiable functions which are not differentiable.
