Notation is only useful if people know what they are saying.
Agreed.

In the context of this thread the notation of 1/infinity is definitely inappropriate as we get proofs such as this :

Look at it this way:

1/infinity = 0

.9r = 1 - 1/infinity

.9r = 1 - 0

.9r = 1

There is no need for any approximation anywhere, since 1/infinity exactly equals 0.
