For this research assignment, I decided to look into the symbol i. i is defined the square root of -1. It is an imaginary number, and an irrational number, given that negatives don’t have square roots, nor does the number one. This symbol appears in mathematical equations, including the constant ‘Euler’s Identity’ which is e^iπ+1=0. The mathematician noted to have discovered these numbers is Heron of Alexandria. At this time, i and other imaginary numbers were thought of as useless. It was not until the work of Euler and Gauss that this number was accepted in mathematics.
This is cool because I found Euler’s Identity as well in my research of e.
That’s really cool. Really nice research!!
Nice, interesting.
I like how you decided to use a symbol for this assignment, it was very interesting!
Wow, I didn’t know the square root of -1 was an imaginary number. That is pretty cool
Nice.
