We always enjoy [FloatHeadPhysics] explaining any math or physics topic. We don’t know if he’s acting or not, but he seems genuinely excited about every topic he covers, and it is ...

A general solution to the cubic equation was long considered impossible, until we gave up the requirement that math reflect reality.

Mathematicians once turned up their noses at imaginary numbers. But complex analysis actually simplifies math and physics.

Complex numbers seem to have an almost mystical aura surrounding them. Perhaps it’s because of the terminology used for them – for example, they have a ‘real part’ and an ‘imaginary part ...

The Platform 2 adds a new character, Zamiatin, to the mix, whose obsession with math's imaginary number subtly reveals a lot about his backstory.

It should be impossible to measure an imaginary number in the lab, but a group of researchers have found a way to do so. They produced the equivalent of a magnetic field of imaginary strength ...

Imaginary numbers and complex numbers — that is, numbers that include an imaginary component — are another example of this sort of creative thinking.

Imaginary numbers and complex numbers — that is, numbers that include an imaginary component — are another example of this sort of creative thinking. As Moore explains it: "If I ask you, what is the ...

Imaginary numbers—the square roots of negative numbers—are an inescapable part of quantum theory, a study shows ...

Chinese scientists have found the strongest evidence yet that imaginary numbers are fundamental to the foundations of quantum physics.
