The authors discuss the technique and contribution of Cauchy to integral geometry. Most attention is paid to elucidating his views on the structure of the continuum, the concepts of limit and continuity, and applications to elasticity. Relationship is elaborated with the modern understanding of infinitesimals in nonstandard analysis.
