  1. 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 …

  2. 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 …

  3. functional analysis - Examples of compact sets that are infinite ...

    A compact subset of an infinite dimensional Banach space can be infinite dimensional, in the sense that it is not contained in any finite dimensional subspace. One way to generate infinite dimensional …

  4. 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.

  5. 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?

  6. Koch snowflake paradox: finite area, but infinite perimeter

    Mar 8, 2018 · The Koch snowflake has finite area, but infinite perimeter, right? So if we make this snowflake have some thickness (like a cake or something), then it appears that you can fill it with …

  7. 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.

  8. 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 …

  9. 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 ...

  10. What are some examples of infinite dimensional vector spaces?

    Jan 26, 2021 · I would like to have some examples of infinite dimensional vector spaces that help me to break my habit of thinking of $\\mathbb{R}^n$ when thinking about vector spaces.
