# Re: [Hol-info] An infinite sum of 0 or 1 is finite, then ...

Dear Professors Tian and Zhang:

I am very interesting your communication on summable, however, I would like
We got a new idea; the area of disc with radius r is of course \pi r^2,
however for r = infinity; in the entire plane, its area is zero!!.

I will send some related article by separate e-mail.
