- how binary arithmetical operations operate on near-numbers (one pair of slices at a time, on all pairs of numbers, one from each slice);
- familiarity with multiplication of basic near-numbers: finite × finite, finite × infinite, and infinite × infinite, and division via multiplying by the reciprocal;
- ☆-forms for multiplication and division: 0+× +∞, +∞/+∞, and 0+/0+
- The number zero times anything—including +∞—is simply zero.
