    Definition: Infinity refers to something without any limit, and is a concept relevant in a number of fields, predominantly mathematics and physics. The English word infinity derives from Latin infinitas, which …

  2. What is infinity divided by infinity? - Mathematics Stack Exchange

    Aug 11, 2012 · I know that $\infty/\infty$ is not generally defined. However, if we have 2 equal infinities divided by each other, would it be 1? if we have an infinity divided by another half-as-big infinity, for

  3. Types of infinity - Mathematics Stack Exchange

    Oct 28, 2015 · I understand that there are different types of infinity: one can (even intuitively) understand that the infinity of the reals is different from the infinity of the natural numbers. Or that the infi...

  4. definition - Is infinity a number? - Mathematics Stack Exchange

    For infinity, that doesn't work; under any reasonable interpretation, 1 + ∞ = 2 + ∞ 1 + ∞ = 2 + ∞, but 1 ≠ 2 1 ≠ 2. So while for some purposes it is useful to treat infinity as if it were a number, it is important to …

  5. One divided by Infinity? - Mathematics Stack Exchange

    Similarly, the reals and the complex numbers each exclude infinity, so arithmetic isn't defined for it. You can extend those sets to include infinity - but then you have to extend the definition of the arithmetic …

  6. Can I subtract infinity from infinity? - Mathematics Stack Exchange

    Apr 28, 2016 · Can this interpretation ("subtract one infinity from another infinite quantity, that is twice large as the previous infinity") help us with things like limn→∞(1 + x/n)n, lim n → ∞ (1 + x / n) n, or is …

  7. Negative 1 to the power of Infinity - Mathematics Stack Exchange

    Can anyone explain me what the result of $$\\lim_{n\\rightarrow\\infty} (-1)^n$$ is and the reason?

  8. soft question - Why is $\infty \cdot 0$ not clearly equal to $0 ...

    Mar 25, 2011 · (i.e add 0 0 to 0 0 as many times as you like, result is 0 0) So I thought an infinite number of 0 0 's cannot be anything but 0 0? But someone claims different but couldn't offer a reasonable …

  9. calculus - ln (infinity/infinity) - Mathematics Stack Exchange

    Oct 4, 2018 · I am taking AP Calculus BC this year, and we are going over improper integrals. I was just doing this integral, and was wondering what exactly the ln(inf/inf) is. Here is my work: I believe my tea...

  10. How many different sizes of infinity are there?

    24 It's pretty straightforward to say that there is an infinite number of different sizes of infinity, but then I thought, "What size of infinity is that?" My thoughts are that the number of unique cardinalities is …
