  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. 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. 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...

  6. 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 …

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

    Dec 25, 2017 · In the process of investigating a limit, we know that both the numerator and denominator are going to infinity.. but we dont know the behaviour of each dynamics.

  8. If you subtract a finite number from an infinity, does the infinity ...

    Jun 9, 2023 · so long as x is a finite number. Meaning, adding or subtracting a finite number to an infinity does not change its value, but I vaguely remember a YouTube video that talked about different kinds …

  9. infinity - Are all infinities equal? - Mathematics Stack Exchange

    A friend of mine was trying to explain to me how all infinities are equal. For example, they were saying that there are the same amount of numbers between $0$–$1$ as there are between $0$–$2$. The...

  10. 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 …
