Infinity | Philosophy of mathematics
In the philosophy of mathematics, the abstraction of actual infinity involves the acceptance (if the axiom of infinity is included) of infinite entities as given, actual and completed objects. These might include the set of natural numbers, extended real numbers, transfinite numbers, or even an infinite sequence of rational numbers. Actual infinity is to be contrasted with potential infinity, in which a non-terminating process (such as "add 1 to the previous number") produces a sequence with no last element, and where each individual result is finite and is achieved in a finite number of steps. As a result, potential infinity is often formalized using the concept of limit. (Wikipedia).
Definition of infinity In this video, I define the concept of infinity (as used in analysis), and explain what it means for sup(S) to be infinity. In particular, the least upper bound property becomes very elegant to write down. Check out my real numbers playlist: https://www.youtube.co

Can You Define the Immeasurable?
What is infinity? Can you define something that, by definition, has no boundaries? A subject extensively studied by philosophers, mathematicians, and more recently, physicists and cosmologists, infinity still stands as an enigma of the intellectual world. We asked people from all walks of

Touching Infinity: It's Not Out of Reach
The conventional way to represent the Real Number system is to think of the numbers as corresponding to points along an infinite straight line. The problem is that in this representation there is no place for "infinity". Infinity is not a real number. This video shows an alternate visua
