"Calculating Infinity" is the debut album by American mathcore band The Dillinger Escape Plan, released in September 1999 by Relapse Records. "Calculating Infinity" showcases the band's heavier, more technical sound found in earlier recordings. The album would go on to be considered a landmark of experimental metal. This would be the only The Dillinger Escape Plan full-length album to feature Dimitri Minakakis on vocals.
