Infinite

A set $S$ is said to be infinite if there is a surjection $f:S\to\mathbb{Z}$ . If this is not the case, $S$ is said to be finite.

In simplified language, a set is infinite if it doesn't end, i.e. you can always find another element that you haven't examined yet.

A set is infinite if it can be put into bijection with one of its proper subsets.
A set is infinite if it is not empty and cannot be put into bijection with any set of the form $\{1, 2, \ldots, n\}$ for a positive integer $n$ .

Applications to Infinity with Sums

A sum works the same way. Certain sums equate to infinity, such as

$\sum_{i = 3}^{\infty}{(2i - 1)}$

Some rules involving operations with infinity are as follows:

$1/{\infty} = 0$

${\infty} + x = {\pm}{\infty}$

${\infty}\cdot{x} = {\infty}$
