Ernst Zermelo (1871-1953) is best-known for the statement of the axiom of choice and his axiomatization of set theory. However, he also worked in applied mathematics and mathematical physics. His dissertation, for example, promoted the calculus of variations, and he created the pivotal method in the theory of rating systems.This biography attempts to shed light on all facets of Zermelo's life and achievements. Personal and scientific aspects are kept separate as far as coherence allows, in order to enable the reader to follow the one or the other of these threads.
Nonstandard analysis represents a fundamental change of perspective in mathematics (and sciences), comparable to the introduction of Cantor's set theory in the nineteenth century. This book is a short, readable introduction to the subject, based on the axiomatic or IST approach. The first part gives a clear, rigorous exposition of the theory; the second part consists of a number of self-contained chapters dealing with applications. As an aid to self-study, the author has included exercises at the end of each chapter, with hints as well as full solutions.
