The explicit formula for Gauss-Jordan elimination applied to flexible systems
Flexible systems are obtained from systems of linear equations by adding to the elements of the coefficient matrix and the right-hand side scalar neutrices, which are convex groups of (non-standard) real numbers.

Infinitesimals via Cauchy sequences: Refining the classical equivalence
A refinement of the classic equivalence relation among Cauchy sequences yields a useful infinitesimal-enriched number system. Such an approach can be seen as formalizing Cauchy’s sentiment that a null sequence “becomes” an infinitesimal.

A topological interpretation of three Leibnizian principles within the functional extensions [PDF]
Three philosophical principles are often quoted in connection with Leibniz: "objects sharing the same properties are the same object" (Identity of indiscernibles), "everything can possibly exist, unless it yields contradiction" (Possibility as ...

An algebraic model for the propagation of errors in matrix calculus
We assume that every element of a matrix has a small, individual error, and model it by an external number, which is the sum of a nonstandard real number and a neutrix, the latter being a convex (external) additive group.

Metric completions, the Heine-Borel property, and approachability
We show that the metric universal cover of a plane with a puncture yields an example of a nonstandard hull properly containing the metric completion of a metric space.

Calculus using proximities: a mathematical approach in which students can actually prove theorems
Teaching and learning calculus are notoriously difficult and the didactic solutions may involve resorting to intuitive but vague definitions or informal gestures offered as proofs.

Time averaging for functional differential equations
We present a result on the averaging for functional differential equations on finite time intervals. The result is formulated in both classical mathematics and nonstandard analysis; its proof uses some methods of nonstandard analysis.

The method of averaging and functional differential equations with delay
We present a natural extension of the method of averaging to fast oscillating functional differential equations with delay. Unlike the usual approach where the analysis is kept in an infinite‐dimensional Banach space, our analysis is achieved in ℝn. Our results are formulated in classical mathematics. They are proved within Internal Set Theory which is

Generalized solutions of variational problems and applications
Ultrafunctions are a particular class of generalized functions defined on a hyperreal field ℝ*⊃ℝ{\mathbb{R}^{*}\supset\mathbb{R}} that allow to solve variational problems with no classical solutions.

An embedding of Schwartz distributions in the algebra of asymptotic functions
We present a solution of the problem of multiplication of Schwartz distributions by embedding the space of distributions into a differential algebra of generalized functions, called in the paper “asymptotic function,” similar to but different from J. F Colombeau′s algebras of new generalized functions.
