minus-squareomega_x3@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·7 days agoImaginary numbers are any number multiplied by the square root of negative 1, a complex number has both a real and imaginary part. 10+i is complex, 10*i is imaginary.

Complex numbers ≠ Imaginary numbers
Imaginary numbers are any number multiplied by the square root of negative 1, a complex number has both a real and imaginary part. 10+i is complex, 10*i is imaginary.
