  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. Does a vertical line have no slope, or infinite slope?

    Dec 17, 2024 · I have heard some textbooks that vertical lines have no slope (not a slope of 0 0, rather, no slope at all). However, other textbooks say that the slope of a vertical line is ∞ ∞, where the ∞ ∞ is …

  3. Infinite monkey theorem and numbers - Mathematics Stack Exchange

    Mar 15, 2021 · I had a discussion with a friend about the monkey infinite theorem, the theorem says that a monkey typing randomly on a keyboard will almost surely produce any given books (here let's say …

  4. 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

  5. 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 …

  6. linear algebra - Invertibility of infinite-dimensional matrix ...

    May 3, 2020 · How do you extend your definitions to that case, and how infinite is n n? Assuming n =N n = N, the product of two such matrices is still not always well-defined, take for instance the matrix …

  7. real analysis - Intersection of the Union of Infinite Sets ...

    Nov 28, 2017 · But I has an infinite number of sets as its elements, so the intersection of all its elements is its infinite'th element. And the infinite'th element of I itself has an infinite number of elements.

  8. Understanding Euclid's proof that the number of primes is infinite ...

    Apr 7, 2016 · This proof is perfectly valid - maybe not as nice as yours, and maybe not what Euclid wrote, but that's by the by. Note that the OP was asking specifically for a proof that the number of …

  9. 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?

  10. What are some examples of infinite dimensional vector spaces?

    Jan 26, 2021 · I would like to have some examples of infinite dimensional vector spaces that help me to break my habit of thinking of $\\mathbb{R}^n$ when thinking about vector spaces.
