Infinity: Infinity, the concept of something that is unlimited, endless, without bound. The common symbol for infinity, â, was invented by the English mathematician John Wallis in 1657. Three main types of infinity may be distinguished: the mathematical, the physical, and the metaphysical.
In mathematics, infinity is the conceptual expression of such a numberless number. It is often symbolized by the lemniscate (also known as the lemniscate of Bernoulli), which looks something like the numeral 8 written sideways (). This symbol for infinity was first used in the 1600s by the mathematician John Wallis.
