The origin of infinite symbols
Aristotle (384-322 BC), an ancient Greek philosopher, believed that infinity could exist, because a finite quantity was infinitely separable and could not reach the pole, but infinity was universally acknowledged as unreachable.
/kloc-in the 20th century, a great Indian mathematician, Bascara, appeared, and his concept was close to that of modern theorization.
The symbol of putting 8 horizontally as ∞ to represent infinity was first put forward in john wallis's paper Arithmetic Infinity (published in 1655).
