Nonstandard Structures

Part of the book series: Ergebnisse der Mathematik und ihrer Grenzgebiete ((MATHE3,volume 11))

Zusammenfassung

A. Robinson invented “nonstandard” methods in order to supplement the Weierstrass ε, δ formalization of the calculus by a rigorous version of the classical calculus of infinitesimals in the spirit of Leibniz and other formalists. We will apply the nonstandard approach to algebra in Chapter 14 in order to find new Hilbertian fields. Its main virtue, from an algebraic point of view, is that it creates for us additional algebraic structures to which well known theorems can be applied.
