@Felthry Also teach it from first principles instead of just writing down steps to problems and expecting us neurodivergent folks to magically figure it out in 2 seconds.
@Felthry I think a big mistake is calling it imaginary rather than complex numbers, because complex numbers are anything but imaginary.
When people talk about imaginary numbers, they think of a cheating tool they use sparingly and with shame if they have to. When complex numbers is just as important, if not more than simple numbers.
@Felthry Yeah, kinda goes to show that even the people who discovered it didn't know just how important it was back then.
@FreyaManibrandr "imaginary" was actually a name that was applied because they were seen as a cheating tool when first introduced, and for some reason it just stuck
