If maths is based on set rules and logic, how can there be an imaginary number?
If you read Isaac Asimov's essay, "The Imaginary That Isn't," he demonstrates that an "imaginary" number isn't any more "imaginary" than any other number!!! (He does so with great humor, too!!).....all of Asimov's essays on mathematics are excellent...and easy to understand....I highly recommend any of them !!!!
(Asimov even demonstrates that there is no such thing as a "half a piece of chalk!!"
