    Is this an I, or a hint that her feelings are complex?

        i will always be current. j will always be the square root of -1. Nothing will ever override this in my brain

      If I’m not wrong, I think the square root of minus 1 is an imaginary number which is represented by i

      Don’t ask me anymore questions about this if you want real answers because I genuinely don’t know any more.

        Yep, sqrt(-1) = i. Powers of i are actually really neat imo since they form a loop: i^0 = 1
        i^1 = i
        i^2 = -1
        i^3 (or i^2 x i or -1 x i) = -i
        Now the loop starts:
        i^4 = i^2 x i^2 = 1 x 1 = 1
        i^5 = i^4 x i^1 = 1 x i = i
        etc
        Any evaluation of i to the power k boils down to i^(k%4). For example, i^726 = i^2 = -1. I know this was super useful in calc 1 or 2 and not used for any of my other math classes, it’s just a fun concept to me

          Powers of (1/√2 + i/√2) form a nice loop as well :)

    I don’t really like this syntax. √ should be used on positive reals only

    That’s my take, change my mind

        Read the room Buddy, I’m talking about syntax. You can write i²=-1, but not use √ on complex or negative reals

        Btw this is a statesian website, we all know the US has terrible maths syntax and conventions
