Am I the only one who hates complex numbers? They seem like made up bullshit to me.

What are you hoping to get from this thread?
Maybe gets off on being verbally abused about having stupid mathematical opinions,
guess what? they are
the point is they are useful and clever
They're incredibly useful for problem solving. $/sqrt 2$ and π are also kinda made up but try to do simple calculations without using them and you're fucked.
>$/sqrt 2$ and π are also kinda made up
That's like saying that the diagonal of a square is made up.
Are you OK?
>square
Square with side of length one.
it's just as real as polynomial rings and their quotients
If its stupid but works then its not stupid. i is used to solve certain kinds of problems more elegantly than if we didn't have it.
Talk about what numbers are and how to think properly about math.
Apparently guys like newton, descartes etc werent fans of imaginary numbers either. Its a subject Id like to resolve because im stuck here.
