We're interested in something like $(1-r)(1+r+r^2+\dots r^N)=1-r^N$. Which property (of ordered fields?) is being transferred? (it would be an occasion for me to understand what this transfer principle is about, in an elementary instance like this)

But why the formula $\sum_{i=1}^N r^i=(1-r^N)/(1-r)$, for $r$ real, is still valid when $N$ is infinite? (btw, yes I think "infinite" is the technical term used in nostandard analysis)
