  1. What exactly is infinity? - Mathematics Stack Exchange

    The infinite manifold of two or three dimensions, the mathematical beings which depend on a number of variables greater even than three, any number in fact, still have no greater power than the linear …

  2. 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 …

  3. sequences and series - What is the sum of an infinite resistor ladder ...

    Dec 10, 2023 · Here's a proof by induction that the resistance of a finite version of this ladder with $\ n\ $ rungs is indeed homogeneous of degree $1$ in the variable $\ R\ .$ Taking the limit as $\ …

  4. 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 …

  5. 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 ...

  6. functional analysis - What is a good textbook to learn about infinite ...

    Jan 31, 2025 · There are the following textbooks to learn about infinite-dimensional manifolds: "The Convenient Setting of Global Analysis" by Andreas Kriegl and Peter W. Michor

  7. Ramanujan's radical and how we define an infinite nested radical

    Feb 20, 2019 · The user @Eevee Trainer provided a nice explanation on how we define infinite nested radical in terms of limit of finite nested radical which should be insensitive of the starting point.

  8. linear algebra - What can be said about the dual space of an infinite ...

    The dual space of an infinite-dimensional vector space is always strictly larger than the original space, so no to both questions. This was discussed on MO but I can't find the thread.

  9. What does it mean 'Infinite dimensional normed spaces'?

    Nov 7, 2022 · I see what you mean, so does a normed-space being infinite means that it maps a vector space to a continous interval? If this is the case how do we have a finite normed-space?

  10. linear combination, span, independence and bases for infinite ...

    Dec 30, 2019 · However, there is also a theorem that states that every vector space (finite- or infinite-dimensional) has a basis. So my question is how a basis can even exist for the infinite-dimensional …
