Wu-Tang later released an official statement saying that, although the music may not be sold
Infinity the one-point compactification of the real numbers, which is the real projective line. Projective geometry also refers to a line at infinity in plane geometry, a plane at infinity in three-dimensional space, and a hyperplane at infinity for general dimensions, each consisting of points at infinity. In complex analysis the symbol formula_1, called "infinity", denotes an unsigned infinite limit. formula_5 means that the magnitude formula_22 of "x" grows beyond any assigned value. A point labeled formula_1 can be added to the complex plane as a topological space giving the one-point compactification of the complex plane. When this is done, the
