Ah yeah, the sphere! I'd forgotten about that
I haven't seen that for years. Thanks Joe! It strange and neat how infinity becomes a single point.
When dealing with numbers infinity is generally used as a limit rather than being plugged into equations like zero can be.
Maths is fascinating. The way certain special numbers turn up can be very surprising. Like pi is commonly related to circles as the ratio of the circumference to the diameter. But it pops up all over the place. Like:
As n tends to infinity, 1/(1*1)+ 1/(2*2) + 1/(3*3) + ... 1/(n*n) tends towards (pi*pi)/6
It's been so long since I did my maths studies...
