And here is when doing above with Mathematica
Infinity + Infinity
Infinity
Infinity - Infinity
Indeterminate
Infinity * Infinity
Infinity
Infinity ^ Infinity
ComplexInfinity (different to Maple)
Infinity / Infinity
Indeterminate
0 * Infinity
Indeterminate
0 ^ 0
Indeterminate (different to Maple)
1 ^ Infinity
Indeterminate (different to Maple)
1.0 ^ Infinity
Indeterminate (different to Maple)
1 / Infinity
0
0.2 ^ Infinity
0
There are 4 cases different to that of Maple, and Mathematica has
another type of Infinity called ComplexInfinity.
