This is Part II of an excellent two part paper (see also the preceding review of Part I) that applies Robinson-styled nonstandard analysis to the variational calculus and applications. In this part, the author's particular interest is in classical mechanics. He adapts various techniques of numerical analysis to solve the nonstandard version of the Euler-Lagrange equation for both one- and multidimensional systems. He also begins his analysis of the inverse problem of the calculus of variation.
