Summary/Abstract: This paper explores the introduction and teaching of the concept of infinity in mathematics. Since a correct development of the concept of infinity is essential for the successful completion of studies in this field, especially in higher education, this pa¬per collects information known on this topic. This is complemented by a historical background on the subject, related basic concepts, various illustrative examples and exercises, all suitably formulated. All of this is summarised in a methodologically illumi¬nated way, even as a possible resource for teachers. Nevertheless, it should be inter¬esting reading for anyone curious about one of the most important abstract concepts in mathematics, infinity.
