    (Imaginary numbers though can fuck off)

    I understand the sentiment, but complex numbers literally fall out of computations once you start shaking them hard enough.

    Yes, they’re difficult and hard and have a stupid name tagged onto them. Also, they exist and are useful.

      I definitely don’t doubt their utility, despite my facetious comment regarding them - however it’s not likely I’ll ever be able to actually appreciate them (in this lifetime at least) due to my struggles with understanding far “simpler” areas of math haha.
