History of imaginary numbers I is an imaginary number‚ it is also the only imaginary number. But it wasn’t just created it took a long time to convince mathematicians to accept the new number. Over time I was created. This also includes complex numbers‚ which are numbers that have both real and imaginary numbers and people now use I in everyday math. I was created because everyone needed it. At first the square root of a negative number was thought to be impossible. However‚ mathematicians soon

Once upon a time‚ in the imaginary land of numbers… Yes‚ numbers! I bet that would’ve never come to mind. Which brings me to the question: Who thought of them and why? In 50 A.D.‚ Heron of Alexandria studied the volume of an impossible part of a pyramid. He had to find √(81-114) which‚ back then‚ was insolvable. Heron soon gave up. For a very long time‚ negative radicals were simply deemed “impossible”. In the 1500’s‚ some speculation began to arise again over the square root of negative numbers

and imaginary part. The imaginary part is a multiple of i (where i =[pic] ). We often use the letter ‘z’ to represent a complex number eg. z = 3 +5i The conjugate of z is written as z* or [pic] If z1 = a + bi then the conjugate of z (z* ) = a – bi Similarly if z2 = x – yi then the conjugate z2* = x + yi z z* will always be real (as i2 = -1) For two expressions containing complex numbers to be equal‚ both the real parts must be equal and the imaginary parts
