  1. calculus - What is infinity divided by infinity? - Mathematics Stack ...

    Aug 11, 2012 · Essentially, you gave the answer yourself: "infinity over infinity" is not defined just because it should be the result of limiting processes of different nature. I.e., since such a …

  2. One divided by Infinity? - Mathematics Stack Exchange

    $\begingroup$ Arithmetic with $\infty$ is usually a convention rather than a piece of mathematics. (For example, some mathematicians (in measure theory) take $\infty\cdot 0 = 0$ and reason …

  3. What exactly is infinity? - Mathematics Stack Exchange

    Infinity is not a natural number, or a real number: there should be no confusion about that. We can use infinity as the upper limit of an integral as shorthand to say that all the reals greater than …

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

    Dec 25, 2017 · When we use straightforward approach, we get $$ \frac{\infty+1}{\infty} = \frac{\infty}{\infty} $$ In the process of investigating a limit, we know that both the numerator …

  7. What is the result of - Mathematics Stack Exchange

    Infinity does not lead to contradiction, but we can not conceptualize $\infty$ as a number. The issue is similar to, what is $ + - \times$, where $-$ is the operator. The answer is undefined, …

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

    There are various different things called infinity. There's the infinity of complex analysis, and there are the $\pm\infty$ encountered in calculus. There is the "infinity" that is the value of Dirac's …

  9. Why is $\\infty\\times 0$ indeterminate? - Mathematics Stack …

    Your title says something else than "infinity times zero". It says "infinity to the zeroth power". It is also an indefinite form because $$\infty^0 = \exp(0\log \infty) $$ but $\log\infty=\infty$, so the …

  10. What is imaginary infinity, - Mathematics Stack Exchange

    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 …
