nonstandard analysis
In a broad sense, the study of the infinitely small; more specifically, the study of hyperreal numbers, their functions and properties. Nonstandard analysis, which was pioneered by Abraham Robinson in the 1960s, puts the concept of infinitesimals on a firm mathematical footing and is, for many mathematicians, more intuitive than real analysis.
