Imaginary Numbers: Properties and Applications in Splash Fall 17
Have you ever wondered what $$\sqrt{-1}$$ really is? Mathematicians call this number imaginary, but is it even a number at all? In this course, we'll explore imaginary numbers and how they arise from arithmetic operations. We'll trace the development of different number systems as we try to gain intuition about how imaginary numbers work.

Imaginary Numbers: Properties and Applications in Splash Spring 17
Have you ever wondered what $$\sqrt{-1}$$ really is? Mathematicians call this number imaginary, but is it even a number at all? In this course, we'll explore imaginary numbers and how they arise from arithmetic operations. We'll trace the history of numbers and learn about the development of different number systems as we try to gain intuition about how imaginary numbers work. Along the way, we'll discuss some of their applications to physics, electrical engineering, and computer science.
