Nonstandard analysis: calculus without limits

University of Pennsylvania DRL A8

Speaker: Anschel Schaffer-Cohen
Abstract:
Nonstandard analysis studies problems of calculus using modern logic rather than epsilons
and deltas. We’ll go through a gentle introduction to nonstandard reasoning, and include a
somewhat less gentle discussion of the construction that makes it rigorous.
