The infinity symbol may also be used to represent a point at infinity, especially when there is only one such point under consideration. This usage includes, for instance, the infinite point of a projective line, and the point added to a topological space formula_2 to form its one-point compactification formula_3. In areas other than mathematics, the infinity symbol may take on other related meanings; for instance, it has been used
