    The system of hyperreal numbers extends real numbers by including both finite and infinite numbers. Every finite hyperreal number can be expressed as the sum of a real number and an infinitesimal number. Hyperreal numbers are infinite if their absolute value is larger than any real number, and infinitesimal if their absolute value is smaller than any real number.

    The system of hyperreal numbers

    Like complex numbers C (z = a + bi), hyperreal numbers *R are an extension of real


    numbers R. Hyperreal numbers can be either finite or infinite. Every finite hyperreal is the
    sum of a standard part (a real number) and an infinitesimal.
    A hyperreal is infinite if its absolute value is larger than every real number; A hyperreal is
    infinitesimal (including 0) if its absolute value is smaller than every real number.
