These values are not extreme. They are '''not''' numbers, and of course, not floating point. Technically they are called ''ideals'' and used to make operations like +,-,*,/ closed. Another, often better, example of ideals are numeric exceptions. They too close operations. For example, + is closed in the set of real numbers filled up by ''overflow-exception'' ideal. --[[User:Dmitry-kazakov|Dmitry-kazakov]] 21:37, 15 July 2010 (UTC)
