What do you mean by "signify"? 2
3 = 2*2*2?
2
sqrt(3) = pwnt... the best you can do is define it as limit{2
x, x -> sqrt(3)}; have fun taking the 1.7 billionth power of the billionth root of 2.
In complex analysis (at least this crappy book by Brown & Churchill),
log(i) = {i*pi/2 + 2*pi*i*n | n is integer}
Log(i) = i*pi/2 (principle value)
If you notice in
>>24's definition, it allows i
i to be an infinite set, namely {e
-pi(2n + (1/2)) | n is integer}.
