  1. 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 …

  2. how to prove uncountable infinite pigeonhole principle?

    Nov 15, 2024 · 1 Can it be proven using the pigeonhole principle that if set A is an uncountable family of finite sets, it contains an uncountable subfamily all of whose elements have cardinality n? The idea is …

  3. Circle whose radius is infinite - Mathematics Stack Exchange

    Jan 1, 2019 · I have the intuition that a circle whose radius is infinite is a straight line. Nonetheless, I don’t feel that what I’ve just stated is really scientific as it has some vagueness and lacks precisi...

  4. 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...

  5. 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.

  6. Can a countable set contain uncountably many infinite subsets such …

    Dec 15, 2025 · Can a countable set contain uncountably many infinite subsets such that the intersection of any two such distinct subsets is finite?

  7. Infinite Series $\\sum 1/(n(n+1))$ - Mathematics Stack Exchange

    Write out a few terms of the series. You should see a pattern! But first consider the finite series: $$\sum\limits_ {n=1}^ {m}\left (\frac {1} {n}-\frac {1} {n+1 ...

  8. linear algebra - Is there a quick proof as to why the vector space of ...

    Sep 10, 2019 · Your further question in the comments, whether a vector space over $\mathbb {Q}$ is finite dimensional if and only if the set of vectors is countable, has a negative answer. If the vector …

  9. How was Zeno's paradox solved using the limits of infinite series?

    You could just as easily argue that the sum of the distance is infinite so the distance will be infinitely far away. Both statements are paradoxes. But the concept of the limit of an infinite series being finite …

  10. Is there a shape with infinite area but finite perimeter?

    Dec 1, 2014 · But the circumference also defines the subset with infinite area that lays "outside" (which is a conventional concept). That other "outside shape" would be an example of a finite-perimeter …
