Oh, I'll backtrack quickly on this one -- "infinity" *as most people use it* doesn't have very *much* meaning because they don't define what they're talking about Cantor, who spent his life studying the concept of infinity, jumped very quickly past ∞ to infinities, plural

So there's no actual, distinct number ∞ you can use by itself, just in the course of doing an integration you might get an x + n term where x is real and n is an unbounded, non-standard term But you can't ever compare that n to any other n you get doing something else

Just to be clear, I have no goddamn idea what you nerds are talking about.

And Dieu, remember what I said about instructions. Lim@a f(x)=∞ just means “you can make f(x) arbitrarily large by setting x closer and closer to a.” Make it +1 doesn’t change this instruction at all, because that’s still arbitrarily large!
