Do simple in nitesimal parts solve zenos paradox of measure. Please specify the exact framework for nonstandard analysis you are using in your question e. So, i can understand how nonstandard analysis is better than standard analysis in that some proofs become simplified, and infinitesimals are somehow more intuitive to grasp than epsilondelta arguments both these points are debatable however, although many theorems have been proven by nonstandard analysis and transferred via the transfer principle, as far as i know all of these results. First, the corresponding more rich nonstandard theory proves to be more intuitive and thus easier to deal with as well.
However, the theme which concerns most of the recent papers is social software, an analysis of social procedures, from elections to cake. The standard way to resolve these debates is to define the operations of calculus using epsilondelta procedures rather than infinitesimals.
