Abraham Robinson (1918-1974) was born in Prussia and taught mathematics at universities in Canada, Israel, and the United States. At the time of his death he was Sterling Professor of Mathematics at Yale University.

"Considered by many to be Abraham Robinson's magnum opus, this book offers an explanation of the development and application of non-standard analysis which grew out of Robinson's attempt to resolve the contradictions posed by infinitesimals within calculus."--L'Enseignement Mathematique

• * General Introduction * Tools from Logic * Differential and Integral Calculus * General Topology * Functions of a Real Variable * Functions of a Complex Variable * Linear Spaces * Topological Groups and Lie Groups * Selected Topics * Concerning the History of the Calculus
