i^2=-1

what's else good to know

There's a technical sense in which that is 100% of all there is to know about i.

But maybe it's also helpful to know that i^3 = 1/i = i, and that absolutely any formula that is true for i is also true for -i.


Also, it doesn't come up as often, but sqrt(i) = (sqrt(2)/2) (1 +/- i).
