Add `\infty` symbol to Symbols module #658

Closed dpsanders closed 1 month ago

dpsanders commented 1 month ago

Can we add the \infty symbol to the Symbols module or is there a reason why it was excluded?

OlivierHnt commented 1 month ago

Yes this was purposely removed: there were conflicts with commonly used libraries which export the name, and \infty has nothing to do with intervals (unlike all symbols contained in the module IntervalArithmetic.Symbols) (see also the related issue #270).
