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.

Monotone subsequence via ultrapower
An ultraproduct can be a helpful organizing principle in presenting solutions of problems at many levels, as argued by Terence Tao. We apply it here to the solution of a calculus problem: every infinite sequence has a monotone infinite subsequence, and ...

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.

A strong form of almost differentiability [PDF]
We present a uniformization of Reeken's macroscopic differentiability (see [5]), discuss its relations to uniform differentiability (see [6]) and classical continuous differentiability, prove the corresponding chain rule, Taylor's theorem, mean value ...

Stevin numbers and reality [PDF]
We explore the potential of Simon Stevin's numbers, obscured by shifting foundational biases and by 19th century developments in the arithmetisation of analysis.Comment: 22 pages, 4 figures.

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.

Deconvolving the pre-Himalayan Indian margin – tales of crustal growth and destruction [PDF]
The metamorphic core of the Himalaya is composed of Indian cratonic rocks with two distinct crustal affinities that are defined by radiogenic isotopic geochemistry and detrital zircon age spectra.
