DirectedInfinity

Usage

• DirectedInfinity[ ] represents an infinite numerical quantity whose direction in the complex plane is unknown.
• DirectedInfinity[z] represents an infinite numerical quantity that is a positive real multiple of the complex number z.

Notes

• You can think of DirectedInfinity[z] as representing a point in the complex plane reached by starting at the origin and going an infinite distance in the direction of the point z.

• The following conversions are made:

Infinity	DirectedInfinity[1]
-Infinity	DirectedInfinity[-1]
ComplexInfinity	DirectedInfinity[ ]

• Certain arithmetic operations are performed on DirectedInfinity quantities.

• In OutputForm, DirectedInfinity[z] is printed in terms of Infinity, and DirectedInfinity[ ] is printed as ComplexInfinity.

• See Section 3.1.8.
