Wheel Theory
Wheels are a kind of algebra where division is always defined. In particular, division by zero is meaningful. The real numbers can be extended to a wheel, as can any commutative ring.
Also the Riemann sphere can be extended to a wheel by adjoining an element . The Riemann sphere is an extension of the complex plane by an element, where for any complex . However, is still undefined on the Riemann sphere, but defined in wheels.
