  I never really appreciated them until watching a bunch of 3blue1brown videos. I really wish those had been available when I was still in HS.

    After watching a lot of Numberphile and 3B1B videos I said to myself, you know what, I’m going back to college to get a maths degree. I swim to actuarial sciences when applying, because it’s looked like a good professional move and was the best decision on my life.

    Can we all at least agree that counting numbers are a joke? Sometimes they start at zero … sometimes they start at one …

  If you are comfortable with negative numbers, then you are already comfortable with the idea that a number can be tagged with an extra bit of information that represents a rotation. Complex numbers just generalize the choices available to you from 0 degrees and 180 degrees to arbitrary angles.
