If i is an unknown that is tautologously taken to be its own solution, does this mean that imaginary numbers are discredited and marked for banishment from mathematics? Certainly not. What imaginary numbers can do is not only essential to mathematics but a great deal of fun and fascination as well, as considered below.

This is where imaginary numbers come into play. Essentially, mathematicians have decided that the square root of -1 should be represented by the letter i. So, i = sqrt(-1), or you can write it this way: -1 1/2 or you can simply say: i 2 = -1.
