Re: IMAGINARY NUMBERS



Jennifer: You can tell them that trigonometry is one of the most miserable
exercises in messy algebra imaginable, but when trigonometry is done in the
light of complex numbers, by way of Euler's theorem, the whole subject
becomes simple, elegant and beautiful. Indeed, when you discover how
powerful complex numbers are for the first time, it is not unusual for the
heavens to open and for choirs of angels to be heard singing. At least
that was my experience. JSM
