  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. Basis for infinite dimensional vector space definition

    Feb 4, 2023 · In some of these infinite-dimensional vector spaces, when they're normed, there may be Schauder Bases , where we have infinite sums, which require a notion of convergence.

  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. Types of infinity - Mathematics Stack Exchange

    Dec 18, 2012 · Not only infinite - it's "so big" that there is no infinite set so large as the collection of all types of infinity (in Set Theoretic terms, the collection of all types of infinity is a class, not a set). You …

  5. How can Cyclic groups be infinite - Mathematics Stack Exchange

    Oct 4, 2020 · I am a little confused about how a cyclic group can be infinite. To provide an example, look at $\\langle 1\\rangle$ under the binary operation of addition. You can never make any negative …

  6. probability - Is selecting a random person from an infinite population ...

    Jul 13, 2024 · This was initially sparked by a hypothetical question: There are two scenarios. In the first, an infinite number of people are living in a completely blissful paradise, but every day a person is se...

  7. convergence divergence - Infinite series that surprisingly converge ...

    Dec 5, 2019 · I couldn't find any substantial list of 'strange infinite convergent series' so I wanted to ask the MSE community for some. By strange, I mean infinite series/limits that converge when you would …

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

    Aug 7, 2014 · 'every infinite and bounded part of $\mathbb {R^n}$ admit at least one accumulation point' because for me a set is either bounded so finite or infinite so unbounded. I don't really understand …

  9. real analysis - Why set of natural numbers is infinite, while each ...

    In his book Analysis Vol. 1, author Terence Tao argues that while each natural number is finite, the set of natural numbers is infinite (though has not defined what infinite means yet). Using Peano...

  10. abstract algebra - Examples of infinite groups such that all their ...

    Nov 28, 2018 · I am in need of examples of infinite groups such that all their respective elements are of finite order.
