  1. What exactly is infinity? - Mathematics Stack Exchange

    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. 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 $\lim_ {n\to\infty} (1+x/n)^n,$ or is it just a …

  4. Types of infinity - Mathematics Stack Exchange

    Dec 18, 2012 · 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 …

  5. limits - Infinity divided by infinity - Mathematics Stack Exchange

    Dec 25, 2017 · Infinity divided by infinity Ask Question Asked 7 years, 11 months ago Modified 7 years, 11 months ago

  6. Is 1 + infinity > infinity? - Mathematics Stack Exchange

    Dec 13, 2021 · But I can't disprove their points. My argument is that if $1 + \infty > \infty$ then there exists a number greater than $\infty$, disproving the concept of infinity, because you can't simply add …

  7. One divided by Infinity? - Mathematics Stack Exchange

    Jul 15, 2015 · 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 …

  8. What is imaginary infinity, $i\lim\limits_ {x \to \infty} x = i\infty$?

    May 14, 2017 · The infinity can somehow branch in a peculiar way, but I will not go any deeper here. This is just to show that you can consider far more exotic infinities if you want to. Let us then turn to …

  9. Why is $1^ {\infty}$ considered to be an indeterminate form

    This "$1^\infty$" (in regards to indeterminate forms) actually means: when there is an expression that approaches 1 and then it is raised to the power of an expression that approaches infinity we can't …

  10. philosophy - How big is infinity? - Mathematics Stack Exchange

    Jun 17, 2014 · This "infinity" admits multiplication by real numbers, so that for example, the rate of change at $0$ of the function that is $3.2$ times this function, is just $3.2$ times the "infinity" that is …
