Infinity
The word infinity comes from the
Latin infinitas or "unboundedness." It refers to several distinct concepts (usually linked to the idea of "without end") which arise in
philosophy,
mathematics, and
theology.In
mathematics, "infinity" is often used in contexts where it is treated as if it were a number (i.e., it counts or measures things: "an infinite number of terms") but it is a different type of "number" than the
real numbers. Infinity is related to
limits,
aleph numbers,
classes in
set theory,
Dedekind-infinite sets,
large cardinals,
Russell's paradox,
non-standard arithmetic,
hyperreal numbers,
projective geometry,
extended real numbers and the
absolute Infinite.
