Imaginary numbers used to bug me. I didn’t get how you could have a number
the square of which was -1. Now, however, I view math as more of a human
invention than some sort of truth about the world, so the number i doesn’t
bother me as much.
Here’s a
brief discussion on what i is and how it came to be.
