Hypernumbers and Extrafunctions by Mark Burgin

First, concepts of real and complex numbers are expanded to include a new universe of numbers called hypernumbers which includes infinite quantities. This book introduces a new theory that includes the theory of distributions as a subtheory, providing more powerful tools for mathematics and its applications.

From the reviews:

“Burgin (UCLA) provides an introduction to the theory of hypernumbers in this short book, part of the ‘SpringerBriefs in Mathematics’ seriesThe (real) hypernumbers are an extension of the real numbers that permits operations with infinite quantities; a real general extrafunction is a partial map from the set of real hypernumbers to itself. … Summing Up: Recommended. Advanced upper-division undergraduates, graduate students, and researchers/faculty.” (D. Robbins, Choice, Vol. 50 (3), November, 2012)

Burgin published extensively on this new theoretical topic. Based on UCLA lectures, articles, invited ACM Communications Survey article (11/01), and invited High Performance Computing Symposium presentation.
