In Finite

In Algebra, infinity is unattainable. No matter how far you can count, you can never get there. Math even uses a parenthesis notation to indicate that infinity can't be included because it can't be reached.

Calculus makes the leap from finite math to that of infinite. We still can't define infinity, but we can work with it. Infinity is no more attainable than algebra, but it is real, it is tangible.

You know, every time I think of Infinity, it reminds me of God. Not in the algebra sense, in inconceivability, but I know Him, and He is real.

The difference between an intangible abstract to a tangible reality is of vast significance. the difference between them is, well, infinity.
