Imaginary Numbers

Name: !kuk54qxINg 2007-12-18 17:27

Are complex numbers any more imaginary than real numbers? What makes pi more real than i?

is L'Hopital, not L'Hospital

Imaginary numbers are a tool used to represent and predict reality, just like irrational numbers, rational numbers, integers, and counting numbers.  They are useful for, say, multiplying cos(t) with 2*cos(t + 30 degrees).  Euler's Identity with e^(j*t) = cos(t) + j*sin(t)

note:  EE here so I use sqrt(-1) = j by habit.  Also the j comes first, so you write it as j3.33 or something like that.
