In Reply to: What are some REAL USES for IMAGINARY NUMBERS??? posted by grossly confused on December 07, 1998 at 21:36:22: ... Believe it or not, there really are uses for imaginary numbers! They are used to help solve complex mathematical equations. They are also used in electrical engineering. To read an entire page...

In my article on Irrational Numbers, I said that irrational numbers are important in order to solve certain equations. The same is true of imaginary numbers. There are a few practical uses for imaginary numbers.

Response #: 2 of 2 Author: asmith And in physics, it turns out quantum mechanics uses complex numbers for just about everything - the wave functions of particles have a complex amplitude, including a real and "imaginary" part, and both are essential.

Real Life Applications of Imaginary Numbers Who uses imaginary numbers and why? Why are they so important? Using Imaginary Numbers Where do we use imaginary numbers in the real world? Uses of Imaginary Numbers Can you tell me a real-life application of imaginary numbers?

Well, yes, but apparently crucial (and well-established!) continuations, like algebra, have only THEORETICAL or abstract uses: which is, in effect, the use imaginary numbers have.

A principle that has been stated to me more than once to justify the reality of imaginary numbers is that a number is anything that is the solution to an equation. Since i is the solution to x2= -1, then it is as "real" as any other number.

Imaginary numbers always confused me. Like understanding e, most explanations fell into one of two categories: ... @Darius: You’re welcome, I’m glad you found it useful. There are “everyday” uses of imaginary numbers, but nobody seems to talk about them!
