More about the book
The book explores the historical and mathematical significance of the imaginary unit i = -1, which has puzzled mathematicians for centuries. Initially labeled "imaginary" by René Descartes, this term has contributed to misconceptions about complex numbers. The text highlights how i has become integral to various fields, including mathematics, physics, electrical engineering, and quantum field theory, illustrating its essential role in solving complex problems across disciplines.
