Survey shows that 10^100 is the average value of infinity.
Note that this value of infinity is preferred by widely-used (at least
in U.S.) TI calculator series (83, 85, etc. etc.).
Matlab, on the other hand, staunchly maintains that infinity is larger
by several orders of magnitude than that.
>>From the outlook, it looks as though they would agree that 10^150 is
the average value of infinity, unless, God forbid, the national deficit
rises to that amount.
