Infinity squared is infinity. But there's more to it.
Mathematicians describe different kinds of infinities:
- The cardinality(number) of natural numbers is called Aleph0 () . This is infinite, and it has some peculiar properties:
- The cardinality of even numbers is also Aleph0.
- As is the cardinality of odd numbers.
- As is the cardinality of rational numbers (which you could view as infinity squared, but it still gives you infinity.
- The cardinality of countable ordinal numbers is called Aleph1 ().
- The cardinality of the real numbers is two to the exponent of Aleph0 ( ). The continuum hypothesis says this is equal to Aleph1.
Basically, if you square an infinite set from a given cardinality, the cardinality stays the same (meaning Aleph0 squared is still Aleph0, etc.)
If your mind just burst(cause mine did! 0_o), do not worry. This is a common reaction to set theory.
See the related link for more on Aleph numbers, which are how mathematicians view infinity.

What does negative infinity divided by infinity squared equal?
42,100,876,9765,098.6 xx :) All real numbers, except zero and one.
What is Pi squared plus Pi squared?
19.7392088 is also = to pi for instince infinaty=pi = never tnding so the formlea infinity=pi.
Infinity to the power of 1?
Anything to the power of 1 is that same something, so infinity to the power of 1 is infinity. Keep in mind that infinity is a conceptual thing, often expressed as a limit as something approaches a boundary condition of the domain of a function. Without thinking of limits, infinity squared is still infinity, so the normal rules of math would seem to not apply.
What is infinity plus infinity?
infinity
What is negative infinity plus negative infinity?
Negative infinity plus negative infinity equals negative infinity.
