After delving into quaternions, complex numbers feel simple and intuitive.
Comment on This feels wrong. I love it.

after you spend enough time with complex numbers, the real numbers start to feel wrong

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

ISO 80000-2 defines 0 as a natural number. qed.

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.

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.
