Complex Algebra

Complex Algebra When the idea of negative numbers was broached a couple of thousand years ago, they were considered suspect, in some sense not “real.” Later, when probably one of the students of Pythagoras discovered that numbers such as √ 2 are irrational and cannot be written as a quotient of integers, legends have it that the discoverer suffered dire consequences. Now both negatives and irrationals are taken for granted as ordinary numbers of no special consequence.
