Abraham Robinson is recognized among Jewish contributors to Science & Medicine — Created non-standard analysis
Robinson created non-standard analysis, a rigorous framework that resurrected infinitesimals using model theory, giving a firm logical basis to the intuitive calculus of Leibniz. He also made important contributions to applied mathematics and aeronautics. He was Jewish, a committed Zionist who lived in Mandatory Palestine and Israel before careers in Britain and the United States.
