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.
Infinity symbol got its mathematical meaning in the 17 th century. It was first used by John Wallis in 1655. Wallis never explained why he chose to use exactly 8-on-its-side as a symbol for infinity. However, similar symbol was used by Romans to express âlarge numberâ.
