I had no difficulty with the 'square root of minus 1' as this was a rule, that worked.


The problem with imaginary numbers is that they bend all of the rules, changing how fundamental functions effect numbers. Multiplication is normally just a expansion/contraction, but the number j decides to go and rotate things as well, just to be different.


I see; I suppose it's a bit like sunlight, where Scientists bend all the rules by telling us that sunlight is BOTH a wave form AND discrete particles of energy..............just to be different :roll:

You can't have numerical patterns without numbers.

I HATE numbers with a passion.lolEspecially decimals, and percentages. Fractions I can tolerate, and I love to do the equations like the ones you use to figure out dosages.

Numbers, math, statistics, etc. all fascinate me. Math in school was my strongest subject.
I'll read books on numbers, their meanings and their relationship to understanding the universe.
I particularly like the how numbers come in to play in the theory of chaos.

Fractions are what got me to finally start enjoying numbers. It may have been the way the teacher approached fractions, though. I was given tiles that represented fractions. Visual aides have always been a major plus for me.

I am true to my stereotype. I love numbers and, more generally, mathematics.
