Nonstandard Analysis Theory and Applications / edited by Leif O. Arkeryd, Nigel J. Cutland, C. Ward Henson.

1 More than thirty years after its discovery by Abraham Robinson , the ideas and techniques of Nonstandard Analysis (NSA) are being applied across the whole mathematical spectrum,as well as constituting an im­ portant field of research in their own right. The current methods of NSA now greatly exten...
