Where does sqrt(-1) go? 67.78.183.206 19:07, 2 January 2013 (UTC)
- It goes up (literally above 0). A number line can be extended to a complex plane with sqrt(-1) as the unit of measurement in the vertical direction. Or at least, that's where it actually goes. I don't know where Randall would put it. 75.69.96.225 01:04, 5 March 2013 (UTC)
I'm sorry...are you indicating the ACTUAL location for an IMAGINARY number? -- 74.213.186.41 (talk) (please sign your comments with ~~~~)
Yes, that's exactly where it is (up to switching clockwise for counterclockwise). There is nothing strange about providing a location for imaginary or complex numbers, the location described is logical, and the adjective 'imaginary' is an artifact of nomenclature and nothing more.173.48.140.216 20:40, 30 March 2013 (UTC)
