This would make the integration of divergent functions very easy. For instance, with this idea, int from -2 to 2 of 1/x dx would equal 0.
you can't take the ln of negative numbers, so the integral from -2 to 2 of 1/x dx would not equal zero. and inf/inf is indeterminate, because infinity is a concept. inf/inf could be 1, could be 5, etc.
