Workshop New Paradigms for Mathematics
Course - Calculus with Infinitesimals (Keith Stroyan) - Registration Form (Duration: five to six hours)
Debate - Non Standard Mathematics, past, present and future of a new paradigm in Mathematics
The achievements of nonstandard analysis can be summarized under the headings:
-
Explanation - giving fresh insight or new approaches to established theories, often leading to simplification.
-
Discovery - leading to new results in diverse fields (e.g. probability theory, functional analysis, dynamical systems and control theory.
-
Invention - providing new, rich structures that are useful in modeling and representation, as well as being of interest in their own right.
Main Program
New Paradigms for the teaching of Calculus and Pre-Calculus
