  1. 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

  2. Uncountable vs Countable Infinity - Mathematics Stack Exchange

    Nov 5, 2015 · My friend and I were discussing infinity and stuff about it and ran into some disagreements regarding countable and uncountable infinity. As far as I understand, the list of all natural numbers is

  3. I have learned that 1/0 is infinity, why isn't it minus infinity?

    An infinite number? Kind of, because I can keep going around infinitely. However, I never actually give away that sweet. This is why people say that 1 / 0 "tends to" infinity - we can't really use infinity as a …

  4. infinity - Infinite averages - Mathematics Stack Exchange

    Apr 28, 2015 · 4 You need to endow your infinite set with a measure such that the whole space has measure 1 1 and then integrate (and hope that your function is measurable to begin with). For finite …

  5. Is there a shape with infinite volume but finite surface area?

    Mar 28, 2023 · Is there any pathological shape that has a finite surface area but an infinite volume, sort of like the opposite of a Gabriel's horn?

  6. calculus - Does $1.0000000000\cdots 1$ with an infinite number of $0 ...

    A decimal representation of a number has digits indexed by natural numbers. Which exactly is the position of that last 1 1? Is it the first after the decimal point? The second? The third? Each digit must …

  7. When does it make sense to say that something is almost infinite?

    4 If "almost infinite" makes any sense in any context, it must mean "so large that the difference to infinity doesn't matter." One example where this could be meaningful is if you have parallel resistors and …

  8. Partitioning an infinite set - Mathematics Stack Exchange

    Dec 1, 2010 · Can you partition an infinite set, into an infinite number of infinite sets?

  9. Can a set be infinite and bounded? - Mathematics Stack Exchange

    Aug 7, 2014 · Countability is a different concept altogether. An infinite bounded set can be countable (e.g. all rationals between 0 and 1) or uncountable (e.g. all reals between 0 and 1).

  10. calculus - Infinite limits - Mathematics Stack Exchange

    Obviously it depends on the definition of "exists". Some authors explicitly work over the extended real line with ±∞ ± ∞ adjoined, so that such infinite limits do explicitly "exist" as first-class values. But …
