   Is infinity a concept or a number?

   • Of course, such a largest number does not exist in a strict sense: if some number n n were the largest number, then n+1 n+ 1 would be even larger, leading to a contradiction. Hence infinity is a concept rather than a number. Put another way, infinity is the concept that there is no largest number.

   Which number has an infinite number of significant figures?

   • Exact numbers, and irrationally defined numbers like Euler’s number ( e) and pi (π), have an infinite number of significant figures. In a defining expression like 1 metre = 100 centimetres, these values are considered exact and thus have an infinite number of significant figures.

A transfinite sequence of length λ λ, λ λ more generally any ordinal, would be a function λ → X λ → X - that is all. One writes an a n as convenient notation for the values a(n) ∈ X a ( n) ∈ X.
