Line 50: The problem with <math>\infty</math> runs deeper. The symbol <math>\infty</math> is not meant to represent a number. It represents a [[limit]] only. As such the following statements are entirely meaningless: Anything multiplied by <math>\infty</math> is <math>\infty </math> Hence <math>0 \cdot \infty =\infty</math> Anything divided by <math>\infty</math> is 0 Hence <math>\infty /\infty =0</math> However there are defined concepts such as the [[surreal number]]s and the [[ordinals]] where infinite algebra has been defined.
