Infinitesimals Abstract
... That line includes the real numbers separated by the nonconstant hyper-reals. Each real number is the center of an interval of hyper-reals, that includes no other real number. In particular, zero is separated from any positive real by the positive infinitesimals, and from any negative real by the ne ...
