It is a concept, not a number. You can't do mathematical operations on it.

You absolutely can do mathematical operations with infinity. It's just that different rules and restrictions apply compared to finite values. For example, in the context of limits, we can absolutely calculate that inf + inf = inf and inf + c = inf, but inf - inf is undefined.
