The two books recommended by Alasdair Urquhart in
FOM Digest, Vol 37, Issue 15 sound very interesting.
Here is detailed information from Amazon.com:
Title: Nonstandard Analysis, Axiomatically
Authors: Vladimir Kanovei and Michael Reeken
Series: Springer Monographs in Mathematics
List Price: $109.00
Hardcover: 408 pages
Publisher: Springer; 1 edition (October 5, 2004)
ISBN: 354022243X
Title: Infinitesimal Analysis
Authors: E.I. Gordon, A.G. Kusraev, and S.S. Kutateladze
Series: Mathematics and Its Applications
List Price: $176.00
Hardcover: 436 pages
Publisher: Springer; 1 edition (June 30, 2002)
ISBN: 1402007388
The combined list price of $285.00 is pretty steep, however.
(Some mildly discounted prices are posted at Amazon.) So
I wonder how students ever afford books anymore. At 844
combined pages, photocopying at 10 cents a double page is
a temptation -- though of course strictly illegal. (I'm not
suggesting that!)
So as to make this message more relevant to f.o.m., let
me ask: What work in Reverse Mathematics has been done in
connection with Nonstandard Analysis?
