  1. 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 $\ …

  2. probability - Given an infinite number of monkeys and an infinite ...

    Jan 12, 2011 · Just get an infinite number of monkeys (or a slightly smaller number of computers) and opening a publishing business. Make a million bucks and retire. But this rings false, especially since …

  3. 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 …

  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. 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 …

  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. Can an infinite sum of irrational numbers be rational?

    Feb 9, 2016 · An infinite sum of irrational numbers can be rational. PROOF: Let the set A be all the positive irrational numbers and the set B be the negative irrational numbers.

  8. 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?

  9. 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.

  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 …
