Has anyone here worked with, or heard of, hyperreal numbers? If so, feel free to comment below with your understanding of this numeric field. Okay, get serious - no more derailing down there ;) @Jtalk4456

I know that calculus works because they're consistent.

I mostly encounter them in calculus, because they make a lot of the notation for proofs and arguments way cleaner than they would otherwise, as well as simplifying the logical steps you have to do.

 

Outside of notation, I really just treat them as behaviors, not numbers -A function or sum doesn't result in infinity, it grows without bound.

 

Why do you ask?

"Do as I say, not as I do."

-Because you actually care if it makes sense.

Because I'm interested in working with that field of numbers.

@wasab They're the numbers you learn in math class while you're high

Insanity is not the absence of sanity, but the willingness to ignore it for a purpose. Chaos is the result of this choice. I relish in both.
