right side: "These make sense. reductively speaking, it's saying 00=0 and 00=0"
left side: "ah shit imaginary numbers. Nope, I'm out."

i is simply the sqaure root of -1.

Correct. This is an assumption made about imaginary numbers. If we assume there's a number i which when multiplied together gies a negative number: i x i = -1. Given this assumption, i = sqrt(-1)
But you have to know i is this "imaginary number", or else i could be anything and the relationship i^2 = -1 could be incorrect.
Correct. This is an assumption made about imaginary numbers. If we assume there's a number *i* which when multiplied together gies a negative number: `i x i = -1`. Given this assumption, `i = sqrt(-1)`
But you have to know *i* is this "imaginary number", or else *i* could be anything and the relationship `i^2 = -1` could be incorrect.
Yes. Thats why typically lower case i shouldnt be used as a variable to avoid confusion. ME major here. Did 3 calc classes, diff eq., and numerical methods.
