(2016) Approaching infinity, Basingstoke, Palgrave Macmillan.
What is the infinite? The infinite is sometimes described as that which is unlimited, boundless, or so great that it is impossible for anything to be greater. For instance, an infinitely heavy stone would be a stone so heavy that it would be conceptually impossible for anything to be heavier. (Whether there could be such a stone is another matter.) An infinite area would be an area such that no area could be larger.
