limitless extent or endlessness
A state where something has no end or limit in space, time, or amount.
பயன்பாட்டு முறை:
the infinity of [space/time/possibilities]; to [infinity]
பொதுவான தவறு:
Learners often confuse "infinite" (adjective) with "infinity" (noun). We say "an infinite number of stars" (adjective + noun) but "the infinity of space" (noun). Also, "infinity" is usually uncountable, so we normally do not say *"infinities"* in everyday language, even though it exists in advanced mathematical contexts.

mathematical unbounded value
In math, a special idea for a value that is larger than every normal number or keeps growing without end.
பயன்பாட்டு முறை:
[function] tends to infinity; [value] approaches infinity
பொதுவான தவறு:
Learners may treat infinity as a normal number, saying things like *"divide by infinity to get zero"* as if infinity were a regular value, when in most mathematical systems it is a special concept, not an ordinary real number. They may also confuse "infinity" with "very big"; in math, infinity is not just a large number but something without any upper bound.

the symbol ∞ for infinity
The sign ∞ that shows the idea of infinity or no end.
பயன்பாட்டு முறை:
the infinity symbol on [something]; draw an infinity symbol
பொதுவான தவறு:
