    For the extended reals, the addition of $pminfty$ makes the order $<$ on the set "complete." Every set of extended real numbers has a supremum and infimum. This makes certain arguments and definitions easier. Both the extended reals and the extended complex numbers are "compact," a topological property that has a lot of convenience in general.
