Nonstandard analysis is a way of doing calculus and analysis with infinitesimals. The historical approach of Leibniz, Euler, and others to infinitesimal calculus was gradually replaced by epsilon, delta techniques in the context of a real continuum, in the 19th century. It was not until the 1960s that Abraham Robinson developed a theory of a hyperreal continuum that allows for a development of analysis procedurally akin to that of its founders.

dense orders are saturated
This characterization for dense linear orders can be found as Proposition 16.1 in Sachs’ Saturated model theory. Note that he defines $\kappa$-density differently than you (this property is also known …

Is a model of arithmetic contained in a model of arithmetic an initial segment?
Andres Caicedo has answered the question as stated, however let me point out that one can recover a form of the property under further assumptions on the pair of models. Namely, let $\mathbb N_1$ be a …

Can nonstandard fields contain $\mathbb R$ in different ways?
Yes, this is possible. Let $F$ be a nonarchimedean strongly $\omega$-homogeneous real-closed field such that $\mathbb R\subseteq F$ (which exists by model-theoretic general reasons). Fix an infinitesi …

Decidability of a first-order theory of hyperreals
Yes, the theory is decidable.
If $F$ is an ordered field and $R\subseteq F$ a non-cofinal subfield, then
$$O=\{x\in F:\exists u\in R\:(-u\le x\le u)\}$$
is a convex valuation ring of $F$, with maximal …

What is the theory of computably saturated models of ZFC with an *externally well-founded* p...
Observe that if $M\models\def\zfc{\mathrm{ZFC}}\zfc$ has nonstandard $\omega$, then $x\in M$ is externally well founded iff its rank $\rho(x)$ is a standard natural number: this follows easily by iter …
