Richard Dedekind and Georg Cantor.
Georg Cantor became famous for his revolutionary work in set theory. He developed the concept of different sizes of infinite sets and proved that there are more real numbers than natural numbers. Cantor's work laid the foundation for modern mathematics and had a profound impact on fields such as analysis and topology.
This may sound like a tautological answer. But ∞+1 comes after ∞. And ∞+2 comes after that. As long as what you define is mathematically consistent and makes logical sense, you are allowed to make up whatever number system and rules you want. Georg Cantor defined the ordinal numbers and transfinite arithmetic by making the + operator non-commutative. So 99+∞=∞ but ∞<∞+1.
