    Supports→Any proof of a first-order theorem about the standard reals can be transferred to the hyperreals, and vice versa, sometimes greatly simplifying calculations and proofs

    If statements are formulated entirely within a first-order language for the reals, then they are true of the standard reals if and only if they are true for the hyperreals

    In fact, Robinson’s hyperreals satisfy a “transfer principle”—if statements are formulated entirely within a first-order language for the reals, then they are true of the standard reals if and only if they are true for the hyperreals. So any proof of such a theorem in one system can be transferred to the other. This sometimes greatly simplifies calculations and proofs of theorems.
