Imaginary is a poor name for them because it implies they dont exist. Complex numbers[/component] is more appropriate

Complex numbers ≠ Imaginary numbers

[–] [email protected] 27 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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.

Yep. So my point still stands. Imaginary numbers are a part of complex numbers
