I really hope we look back on these videos in 50 years as the start of an educational revolution. Education all the way from K-12 to university is nothing but a cash cow for adults that don't give a damn about their students. Free access, repeatable, archived, and in an ideal world you get paid more the better job you do. Contrast that to even small non-doctoral schools whose admins are pushing teachers to get NSF/DOD grants because they get to suck up half of the award. Somehow they have to do that and teach 4.5 classes a semester. The students aren't the ones winning in that system

I finally understand why i^2 = -1. Thank you

[@JayLikesLasers]

Though to get there, the creator did gloss over the origin of the rules of multiplying complex numbers, thus this might be an example of circular reasoning. You would normally start from the definition of i^2 = -1 to show that products of 2 imaginary numbers is the same as multiplying the magnitude and adding the phase angle. 1·i = 90 degrees rotations then pops out from that.

[@Red-Brick-Dream]

i^2=-1 by definition. It's not an implication.

[@MofoMan2000]

i is defined simply as the square root of -1. So multiplying it by itself (i²) gives -1, just like squaring the square root of 9 would give you 9.

[@altuber99_athlete]

6:25 Usuallly, the length of a complex number is called the _magnitude_ of it (as you said), however its angle is called the _argument_ of it. When dealing with signals (as in AC circuits), the magnitude is then usually called as the _amplitude_ of the signal, and the angle is then called the _phase_ of the signal. This is not a mistake you made ;) I'm just saying this so people can have a better vocabulary. As always, these videos are extremely awesome!!!

But they are not what Y or Z axes to the X axis. They are something different, for example in Einstein's theory they appear only to represent time, what makes sense (sorta). What do these numbers represent in reality other than just abstract numbers, because if they do not represent something, I fail to see what practical application they may have "in physics and engineering" (quoting the end of the video). It's not the name what matters, it's not that they are based on i=sqr(-1), it's what they represent in real terms (like negatives can represent debt or opposite pottential or just the left side of an arbitrary determined mapping axis), what are imaginaries useful for? What do they represent for example in Schrödinger's equation?

@シ yeah something like that. There are many ways to help us visualize complex functions and this is one of them. Another one is a 2D color map with different color brightness for different magnitudes. One of my favorite ones is thinking of them as a mapping. Meaning, they transform one coordinate system to another coordinate system or transforming a shape to another shape. For example a line into a circle.

We can see and touch real numbers?? I am not so sure I would make the claim that you can see, touch or use any other sense to divine what a number really is or why it is so useful to us. Numbers are constructs of our mind and it is their relationships between one another that can tell us a lot about the world. Numbers on their own have no substance. Even in the Platonic sense, numbers are somewhere out beyond the realm of what we would consider our own reality. I think we can definitely say that numbers have a certain kind of reality to them, but I really think that is the best we can say about them. I obviously understood your meaning from the opening monologue, but I wanted to say that I would argue the point based on the sheer fact that our minds are the only things we can depend on to give a us a sense of the world around us. This ability is flawed, as countless scientists have shown, and therefore the best we can say about the reality of numbers is that they are useful and we can develop a language based on these "things"..

[@EugeneKhutoryansky]

+Mark G, even if it turns out that positive real numbers are not really real, this actually would not change the point that imaginary numbers are "just as real" as positive real numbers. That is, they would still be lumped together into the same category.

[@JavaScripting64]

A one third flip in magnitude-angle form would be 1 angle(pi/3) In A + Bi form this would be 1*cos(pi/3) + 1*sin(pi/3)*I In the x-y plane, multiplying a vector by another vector can mean either taking the dot product or the cross product, both of which are different than multiplication in the imaginary plane.

They mean that you can touch and see something like 5 apples, but not 0 apples, -5 apples, or 5i apples. The quantity, not the number itself.

[@knighth2068]

Jo Reven indeed you are right. thanks for educating him.

[@-_Nuke_-]

you touch the apples not the numbers, yes the statement was just plainly wrong every number is equally "real" and equally "imaginary"

[@MultiOmps]

Well I can't give you 5i apples can I? But I can give you 2 apples, or you can look at a bench and see 0 apples. Negative numbers are real in the case of bank balances or trade accounts as well as vectors in Physics. If you have $0 and you withdraw $100 then you have $-100 owing. However in the more physical world, negative is simply a direction that is 180 degrees from your original path (which is considered positive). Even transcendental numbers are real in nature and their decimal points never terminate such as e or pi. Even irrational numbers can exist for example, the golden ratio observed in nature or if you have a square tile that has an area of 2cm^2 then each side would be sqrt(2) long. But with imaginary or complex numbers where Im(z) ≠ 0 it is impossible to quantify this in the real world. Like I said no one can give you $i, this is impossible! But I can give you $5 (this makes i imaginary and 5 a real number). That's why real numbers are any numbers that are integers, fractions, irrational numbers or transcendental numbers (such as pi). Basically any complex number where Im(z) = 0.

[@-_Nuke_-]

Yes you can give me 5i apples. If 5 is the quantity and 5i is the quality, 5i apples means 5 times better than 1i apples. If you give me 5+5i apples, then that means that you gave me 5 apples of 5 quality (as opposed to 1 quality) 5i is just the number 5 existing on a new axes at right angles with the one that 5 lives on. You can give 5i any meaning you like...

Thanks!!!

I really wanted to see mandelbrot in this video - those functions wasn't that cool

[@ferqwert]

you are right. Mandelbrot and conplex numbers shouldn't go apart

[@wugionyoutube]

Mandelbrot and alike are color maps of the complex plane. Functions like Y = cos X or Y = e^X are 4D beasts in C^2 or R^4 space. It's a matter of viewing them in 3D or 2D. There are cool ways however to do so, making one realise and visualise e.g. the complex "identity" of circle and hyperbola, or, of goniometric and hyperbolic functions. These can be seen on my webpage home.scarlet.be/wugi/qbComplex.html

As a high school senior in calc and physics c Imaginary numbers will always be my favorite (and close in my heart) because they spurred my interest in mathematics. Before then, math was just a bunch of random numbers to me.

[@EugeneKhutoryansky]

+mh8010, I am glad that I made a video on your favorite topic. :)

[@mubashirsoomro6]

We can touch positive integers? Let me see someone touch 5.

[@atklm1]

You can touch five apples. You can touch zero apples. Try to touch negative five apples.

[@mubashirsoomro6]

in that case you are touching the apples not the number itslef

[@atklm1]

Mubashir Soomro Now you're touching the subject of semantics, my friend. But not physically touching them. How is that possible? :)

[@mubashirsoomro6]

exactly my point haha. I know what he meant when he said we can touch positive integers , I was just being a bit sarcastic.

[@mubashirsoomro6]

and I got to learn something new, namely semantics. I didn't know such a subject existed as well.

[@bella2304]

Brilliant explanation of complex numbers. Looked thru my 100+ quantum videos for this specific one.

[@19673475]

I see you are at a lack of music. Try symphony no 40 Mozart

[@naikavinesh9042]

Ur doing very good service to the world sir tqqqqq

[@matthiasp3225]

Wtf dares to touch numbers? Outlaw!

[@MaximQuantum]

I finally understand where the formula: e^iθ = cos θ + i sin θ come from! Thank you so much Eugene!

[@EugeneKhutoryansky]

Thanks.

[@kushagramishra1496]

You are amazing..Everytime I am fascinated by my new concepts that I learn from these videos

[@akiller28]

Wow. Just wow. Everything just makes sense now. Thank you for existing

[@EugeneKhutoryansky]

Thanks. I am glad my video was helpful.

[@DeltaAccel]

As a physics freshman, this is a blessing, thank you.

[@EugeneKhutoryansky]

+DeltaAccel, you are welcome and thanks.

[@rayengineer2030]

I wish we'd had such wonderfully explanatory graphics when I first encountered complex numbers many years ago.

[@EugeneKhutoryansky]

+RayEngineer, at least this will now be available to all the new students we are presently learning this. And thanks for the compliment.

[@pasqualeredo]

In electrical engineering, these concepts are used quite alot, however, we do not use "i" as the imaginary number operator because the letter I (i) is used to designate current. Therefore, EE's use "j" to denote an imaginary number. (x + jy) is rectangular form, X

[@why_are_kishore]

sir u Chanel is one of the most beautiful i have never seen before..its all like not only learning the concept but moreover like experiencing the concepts

[@EugeneKhutoryansky]

+Yr Kishore, thanks for the compliment. I am glad that you like my channel and my videos.

[@dhruvgoyal7163]

These videos are a treasure.

[@EugeneKhutoryansky]

Thanks for the compliment.

[@davidflores909]

This video is a masterpiece. Clean and outstanding animation complemented by the simple but thorough way of presenting information that is characteristic of you. Totally loved this video!

[@EugeneKhutoryansky]

+David Flores, glad you liked it, and thanks for that really great compliment.

[@shrimetgal]

Excellent visuals helped me to properly understand imaginary and complex numbers 👏👏👏👏👏

[@EugeneKhutoryansky]

Thanks. I am glad my animations were helpful.

[@pendalink]

this is a beautiful way to represent functions of complex variables, I've never been able to visualize these... keep up the great work dude

[@EugeneKhutoryansky]

+pendalink, thanks for the compliment.

[@mrx42]

Brilliant, as usual. Thank you professor Khutoryansky

[@sumon_prodhan]

A great man can make another........Thank You So Much.... Your Hard Working

[@EugeneKhutoryansky]

Thanks.
