Why are there Imaginary Numbers? They have no purpose, they cannot be measured, and yet sometimes I find them in a problem that has to do with measuring something. Therefore creating a no answer situation, which can be maddening. I understand that we need negitive numbers, so if someone is in debt they can see how deep they are in. But Imaginary Numbers? I mean come one! The whole idea of it is pure stupidity. Someone give me a logical reason for Imaginary Numbers, please!
