Automatic Analysis

Abstract:

In the early '60s, Abraham Robinson scrapped his standard transmission calc-mobile and built a non-standard (aka automatic) model. His new model allowed him and others to shift many proofs into a more intuitive gear. We'll discuss the first time he took his model through the car- \L o\'s; and d-rive the transfer principle. We'll also get infinitely close to talking about the hyperreal numbers.
