This work by Professor Avinash Sathaye from the University of Kentucky delves into the types of infinity within classical Indian mathematics. It covers Real infinity related to growing real numbers, Ordinal infinity regarding higher counts examined by Jain mathematicians, and Cardinal infinity focused on comparing the sizes of sets. The discussion includes modern Cantor Theory, key definitions, handling exceptions, and specific problems culminating in final equations, enriching the understanding of mathematical concepts of infinity.

Infinity in Classical Indian Mathematics By Avinash Sathaye Professor of Mathematics University of Kentucky sathaye@uky.edu
Types of Infinity • Real – reached by growing real numbers. • Ordinal – reached by higher and higher counts Jain mathematicians Investigated this. • Cardinal – reached by measuring sizes of sets by comparing with each other. The modern Cantor Theory.
