Imaginary is a poor name for them because it implies they dont exist. Complex numbers[/component] is more appropriate
Complex numbers ≠ Imaginary numbers
Imaginary numbers are any number multiplied by the square root of negative 1, a complex number has both a real and imaginary part. 10+i is complex, 10*i is imaginary.
